History:

The Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP) was implemented in 1987 as a Medi-Cal fee-for-service program for low income pregnant women. Effective July 1, 1997, with the implementation of the Two-Plan Model for Medi-Cal Managed Care in Los Angeles County, all pregnant women enrolled in Medi-Cal Managed Care must have access to comprehensive perinatal services.

CPSP integrates nutrition, psychosocial, and health education assessments, interventions, and perinatal education with basic obstetrical care. Provider participation in the program requires a formal application process and certification by the California Department of Public Health.
 

Mission:

Through effective and collaborative teamwork, CPSP promotes and coordinates the delivery of early, continuous and quality comprehensive perinatal services to pregnant and postpartum women and their infants by public and private obstetrical providers.

Vision:

All pregnant and postpartum women in Los Angeles County receive comprehensive perinatal health services through an integrated and seamless system designed to optimize maternal and child health outcomes.

Goals:

• To decrease the incidence of low birth weight in infants
• To improve the outcome of every pregnancy
• To lower health care costs by preventing catastrophic and chronic illness in infants and children
