About the Children and Youth Evaluation Services (C-YES) Program

Maximus has partnered with the New York State Department of Health to establish the Children and Youth Evaluation Service (CYES) program to determine whether a child or youth is eligible for home and community-based services (HCBS) covered by Medicaid. CYES makes eligibility determinations primarily for children and youth aged 0-21 years who have been identified as being Medically Fragile (MDF) or having a Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED). CYES Nurse Evaluators conduct conflict-free evaluations of these children and youth to assess their needs for HCBS and develop person-centered plans of care. CYES Family Support Coordinators provide coordination and referral services and assist HCBS-eligible children or youth to apply for Medicaid.
