Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (CHDP)
Many children and youth in California have unmet health needs. Through the CHDP program, eligible children and youth receive periodic preventive health assessments. Children and youth with suspected problems are then referred for diagnosis and treatment. Many health problems can be prevented or corrected, or the severity reduced, by early detection and prompt diagnosis and treatment.
▪ CHDP is a screening program that also
provides vaccinations and preventive healthcare
guidance for children.
▪ CHDP is not a treatment program.
▪ CHDP, through the CHDP Gateway Program, provides an opportunity
to access health insurance coverage for treatment of conditions
discovered on the health care exam and for ongoing routine care to
persons of low income.
|A free health exam may include:
History and Physical
Snellen Eye Exam
Urine and Blood Screening
Child Safety Guidance
Referral for Dental Care
Referral for Follow-up Care
