About Children & Youth Evaluation Services 

The Children and Youth Evaluation Service (C-YES) is a New York State Program that determines Home and Community Based Service/Level of Care (HCBS/LOC) eligibility for youth with medical, behavioral, and/or developmental needs aged 0-21 years. The C-YES program also provides Medicaid application assistance services to children who appear HCBS eligible and are either without Medicaid and/or have Medicaid but opt out of Health Home (HH) Care Management. C-YES also develops person-centered Plans of Care (POCs) and provides ongoing HCBS service coordination for those families who elect to remain with C-YES and opt out of more comprehensive case management provided by Health Home Care Management Staff. HCBS are meant to help youths remain in their community as opposed to going to a higher level of care (i.e., facility or institution). A Care Coordination team comprised of Nurse Evaluators and Family Support Coordinators are responsible for ongoing support to all families referred to C-YES.
