Children's Rehabilitative Services
Children's Rehabilitative Services (CRS) is a program administered by AHCCCS 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.
- 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 Eligibility
- Child has a CRS-covered condition as defined in the CRS Policy and Procedure Manual. All Capstone members are financially eligible for CRS.
- Child requires comprehensive multi-disciplinary care.
- Child has a reasonable potential for habilitation.
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. Capstone members with CRS covered conditions should be referred to CRS.
Initial Referral to CRS
Capstone can assist your office or members' parents/guardians in applying for CRS. For assistance please contact the Capstone Health Services Department.
CRS has specific guidelines for documentation of eligible conditions. Along with the application please attach all appropriate documentation verifying diagnoses of eligible conditions. CRS applications are available from DHS.
