Information for Care Management Agencies
General Information
The Children and Youth Evaluation Service (C-YES) is a New York State program that determines a child/youth's eligibility for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) covered by Medicaid. C-YES staff also provide HCBS coordination services to children/youth who are not enrolled in a managed care plan or Health Home (HH).
At present, C-YES is only accepting referrals from New York State-designated Care Management Agencies (CMAs). All other organizations interested in Medicaid covered HCBS on behalf of a client should contact the child/youth's local Department of Social Services.
Referrals to C-YES
CMAs may refer clients who choose to opt out of their Health Home and receive HCBS without Health Home Care Management.
