The Complex Medical Help Program (CMH) provides assistance to individuals with special healthcare needs and their families who meet the medical and financial eligibility criteria. Assistance is provided to individuals under the age of 25 who have special health care needs and are residents of the State of Ohio.

Although the CMH program covers a wide range of services, it is important to know CMH does not cover all the services an individual with special health care needs may require, nor are all services available for every diagnosis. Services must be related to the individual’s CMH-eligible condition.

A public health nurse will discuss the benefits of CMH with the child’s family and address any questions, concerns or comments.
