As a child grows, routine and complete physical examinations are important for good health. The CHDP Program provides free health exams for eligible children from birth to 21 years of age. CHDP can also help families find a doctor or dentist if they do not already have one.
CHDP serves eligible children within Fresno County from birth to 21 years of age. Eligibility is primarily determined by age, but other factors that may be considered include:
CHDP provides care coordination to assist families with medical appointment scheduling, transportation, and access to diagnostic and treatment services.
You can enroll in and receive services from CHDP for free.
Children can be enrolled as early as birth and enrollment within the program can continue until the child turns 21 years old.
Children and youth enrolled in the program will receive periodic child health assessments and examinations, referrals to other providers as necessary, care coordination and assistance, and a certificate of health examination or waiver for school entry requirements.
Applications for CHDP services are available at enrolled CHDP provider offices.
