What is CMH?
CMH, Children with Medical Handicaps, (formerly known as BCMH) is a health care program through the Ohio Department of Health. CMH links families of children with special needs to a network of quality providers and helps families pay for services their child needs.
CMH supports the medical home for children with special health care 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 doctor and the child’s family. CMH works with doctors and other health care providers to ensure that every child with a special health care need will have a medical home.
