For Families

If it has been determined that your child does not qualify for Medicaid under the standard income limits, there are different paths to receiving Wraparound services. All of these paths depend on whether the child or youth has been identified as having a serious emotional disturbance (SED). Children with a SED are eligible for Medicaid at a higher income level. Follow the steps below to determine how to get help.

*Serious emotional disturbance (SED) refers to when youth under the age of 18 have both a behavioral health diagnosis and a functional impairment as identified by the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) functional assessment tool.
