Foster Care/Relative Placement/Adoption Support/Juvenile Rehabilitation/Unaccompanied Minor Program

Revised February 13, 2023

Purpose:

To provide instructions and contact information when working with children who are eligible or active on D-track medical programs administered by the Health Care Authority (HCA) and the Foster Care and Adoption Support (FCAS) team.

NOTE: When CSD has a shared D medical program only the FCAS team can finalize the medical case or update letters. Do not ever close a D medical program. If you need assistance with screening in other benefits or sending letters for a client associated with a D program, please contact FCAS.

Clarifying Information

Foster Care and Adoption Support (FCAS) is part of the Health Care Authority (HCA) and it is responsible for determining current and ongoing eligibility for all foster care related medical programs outlined in the Washington Apple Health Manual- Foster Care, Relative Placement, Adoption Support, Juvenile Rehabilitation, Unaccompanied Minor Program chapter.

Note: A child placed with adoptive parents will often be assigned a new Client Identification (CLID) number. The assignment of a new CLID number helps ensure confidentiality.  

How to contact FCAS

For assistance with any shared D medical programs, see the contact information outlined in the Washington Apple Health Manual- ​Foster Care, Relative Placement, Adoption Support, Juvenile Rehabilitation, Unaccompanied Minor Program chapter.
