43.4 THSteps-Comprehensive Care Program (CCP)43.4.1 THSteps-CCP OverviewTHSteps-CCP is an expansion of the EPSDT service as mandated by the OBRA of 1989, which requires all states to provide all medically necessary treatment for correction of physical or mental problems to THSteps-eligible clients when FFP is available even if the services are not covered under the state's Medicaid plan. This expansion of services is provided only for those clients birth through age 20 years who are eligible to receive THSteps services. If the client's Medicaid identification (Form H3087) states "Emergency Care," "PE," or "QMB," the client is not eligible for THSteps-CCP benefits. In May 1991, the CMS issued a clarification of this legislation that expanded THSteps-CCP services to include treatment for problems identified by any health-care professional, regardless of whether a formal EPSDT check up has been performed. The following THSteps-CCP provider sections describe the specific requirements of each area of responsibility:
