Wisconsin Medicaid added the child care coordination (CCC) benefit under the authority of 1995 Wisconsin Act 303. The benefit extends Medicaid prenatal care coordination (PNCC) services to include CCC services for recipients in Milwaukee County.

Definition of the Child Care Coordination Benefit

Child care coordination services help a recipient and, when appropriate, the recipient’s family gain access to and coordinate a full array of services, including necessary medical, social, educational, vocational, and other services. Wisconsin Medicaid CCC services are available to Medicaid recipients in Milwaukee County who either:

• Receive an initial risk assessment within eight weeks following the birth of a child.
• Received Medicaid PNCC services, if they receive the initial risk assessment within six months following delivery.

Recipients qualify for care coordination services until the child’s seventh birthday.

Child care coordination services include all of the following:

• Initial assessment.
• Care plan development.
• Ongoing care coordination and monitoring.

Wisconsin Medicaid does not cover direct service provision as part of the CCC benefit.
