Multidisciplinary Clinic Program
The Multidisciplinary Clinic Program is a resource to help families manage their child's chronic health condition. Most clinics supported by Special Health Services (SHS) provide multidisciplinary team evaluations where families have an opportunity to see many different providers in one place at one time. Reports generated from the clinic visit include recommendations to help direct care for the coming year. There is no charge to families for clinic services; however, insurance or others sources of health care coverage may be used when available. All children who might benefit are eligible to attend.
Clinics make a positive difference in children's overall care. Families' report that clinics provide:
- Information, education, and reassurance
- Diagnostic evaluation and/or treatment
- Coordinated, comprehensive care
- Follow-up and monitoring
- Access to specialty medical care
Ten different types of clinics are supported by Special Health Services. Some are managed by SHS in partnership with public and private health care providers across the state (see provider section for current listing). Others are funded through service contracts. Types of clinics supported by SHS include:
- Cleft Lip/Palate
- Cardiac Care for Children Program
- Metabolic Disorders
- Cerebral Palsy
- Developmental Assessment
- Myelodysplasia
- Diabetes
- Neurorehabilitation
- Asthma
- Autism
Please note that some of the clinics listed in this booklet are self-identified multidisciplinary clinics and may not be run in the same manner as those supported or sponsored by SHS. The listing of pediatric specialists in this booklet is obtained from other specialty agencies, and does not guarantee acceptance of SHS enrolled clients.
For more information about multidisciplinary clinics available in North Dakota, a printed clinic resource directory is available that includes clinic dates, local contacts, and sites.
