Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program
As of July 1, 2023, the Perinatal Services Coordinator is no longer providing support to providers including CPSP application assistance. Contact California Department of Public Health's Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division for CPSP assistance.
The Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) is a Medi-Cal program that provides a model of enhanced obstetric services for eligible low-income pregnant and postpartum women. CPSP provides individuals with obstetric, psychosocial, nutrition, and health education services, and related case coordination during pregnancy and for up to 60 days postpartum. The program was created in 1987 to reduce morbidity and mortality among low-income pregnant women and their infants in California.
CPSP goals include:
- To decrease the incidence of low birth weight infants
- To improve the outcome of every pregnancy
- To give every baby a healthy start in life
- To lower health care costs by preventing catastrophic and chronic illness in infants and children
