CHILD HEALTH & DISABILITY PREVENTION (CHDP) PROGRAM

Program Description

The Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program provides free preventive health exams and immunizations for early detection and prevention of disease and disabilities for infants, children and teens that qualify.

Many infants, children and teens in Solano County have unmet health needs. Through the CHDP program, eligible children receive periodic preventive health assessments and immunizations. Children with suspected problems may be referred for diagnosis and treatment. Many health problems may be prevented or corrected, or the severity reduced, by early detection and prompt diagnosis and treatment. CHDP providers may refer your child for routine or necessary dental care that may be paid by Medi-Cal Dental for eligible children.

CHDP works with a wide range of health care providers and organizations to ensure that eligible infants, children and teens receive appropriate services. These CHDP providers include private physicians, local health departments, schools, dentists and community clinics.


Program Requirements

Note: Proof of residency, income, or legal status is not required for CHDP services (if deemed eligible, child will receive a free well child exam and immunizations and may receive temporary Medi-Cal. Proof of residency and income is required when applying for continuous Medi-Cal coverage).


Program Eligibility

• Uninsured children can get a free CHDP exam and immunizations and may be enrolled into temporary Medi-Cal if they qualify.
