Children with Medical/Healthcare Needs

Children with Medical Handicaps (CMH) is a healthcare program in the Ohio Department of Health. CMH links families of children with significant healthcare needs to a network of quality providers and helps families obtain payment for the services their child needs.

CMH supports the medical home for children with significant healthcare needs. A medical home is a way to provide high-quality health care that is:

  • Family centered
  • Accessible
  • Continuous
  • Comprehensive
  • Coordinated
  • Compassionate
  • Culturally competent

Most importantly, a medical home is a partnership between the healthcare provider and the child’s family. CMH works with doctors and other health-care providers to ensure that every child with a special health need will have a medical home.
