Program Information
South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SC DHHS) uses a two-step process to see if a child qualifies for the MCCW. The first step is a Medical Eligibility Assessment (MEA). The MEA evaluates five areas including medication, sick / emergency room / hospital visits, hands-on skilled care, specialty care physician, and daily routine.
Step two is a face-to-face visit for a Level of Care Assessment. This assessment assigns a score of Skilled, Intermediate, or Medically Ineligible. Children that receive a Skilled or Intermediate score are eligible for the MCCW.
