Why are inpatient screenings only done at CCS-approved hospitals?
The inpatient screening offered by the NHSP is performed by CCS-approved hospitals as authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 123975 and 124115 et seq. Other hospitals may offer screening programs, but at this time only CCS-approved hospitals are eligible for participation in the NHSP. Only participating hospitals are eligible for State reimbursement for hearing screening services provided to Medi-Cal eligible and uninsured infants.
