If your child has a serious chronic medical condition, he or she could be eligible for Children’s Special Health Care Services Plan (CSHCS Plan). This program serves children (and some adults) with special health care needs at no cost.

What conditions qualify?

CSHCS covers more than 2,700 diagnoses. Certain criteria must be met. See a full list of diagnoses. All children applications are reviewed by a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services medical consultant.

Is my child eligible?

The child, or a parent of the minor child, or court-appointed guardian must be one of the following:

• A U.S. citizen
• A documented noncitizen who has been admitted for permanent residence
• A noncitizen legally admitted migrant farm worker

In addition:

• Children must be under the age of 21.
• Those who are 21 and older with certain conditions may also qualify.
• Must live in Michigan.
• Families with any income are eligible (previous terms must be met).
• There’s a fee to join CSHCS. This fee is waived if the child has Medicaid, MIChild, a court-appointed guardian or lives in a foster home.

How to apply

Ask your child’s specialist to submit a medical record that is less than a year old to MDHHS. This can be in the form of a letter or report that describes the condition and treatment plan. Your specialist will need permission to send the medical information to CSHCS. Here’s the Authorization to Disclose Protected Health Information form.

For questions:

• Call your local CSHCS office or the Family Phone line at (800) 359-3722.
• Email cshcsfc@michigan.gov.
