KERN COUNTY CCS

Kern county CCS has been very difficult to work with. I feel like it’s me having to pull teeth to get them to get the ball rolling. We are a transfer from riverside county. I was told the transfer should be flawless and my daughters PT and OT should start right up once everything is sent over. We have been waiting since February going back and forth with Kern county CCS. From referrals to signatures and both times takes weeks for anyone to get back to me. I have been the party to reach out first. 2 times I was told they are waiting on my daughter doctors. And both times the paperwork was sent back to CCS. My daughter isn’t even 2 yet and I feel like she is missing out on the crucial time. We have been approved for services yet it is now the end of June and we are still waiting on CCS. I feel like with this much time passing, they show that they do not have the child’s best interest in mind.

They do nothing for you. My son needs medical equipment and to see a specialist and his regular doctor puts in for it and it gets denied because of CCS. Then they never have any answers. Really thought they were supposed to help not make things more difficult.
