Children's Rehabilitative Services
Children's Rehabilitative Services (CRS) is a program administered by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) that is designed to provide specialty medical and surgical care of a comprehensive and habilitative nature to children who meet CRS financial and medical eligibility criteria.
- The CRS program provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach to management of CRS covered conditions, but does not provide primary care. Capstone remains responsible for provisions of primary care.
- CRS is not an emergency service program. CRS administrators will attempt to accommodate emergency referrals.
- Capstone will remain responsible for the provision of all covered services to Members until CRS eligibility is confirmed.

CRS covered services will ordinarily include the planned management of the covered condition, including inpatient care, surgery, therapy, prescription drugs, limited DME and home health care, and social and educational services, as well as periodic follow-up.
