MCCP children are enrolled in a medical home with access to regular check-ups, physicals, sick child visits, pharmacy, x-rays and lab work. Enrolled children also receive limited services for specialty care and dental care. Hospitalization and emergency room visits are not covered by the program. MCCP is not health insurance.

MCCP is a program of the Fairfax County Department of Family Services, administered by the Health Access Assistance Team (HAAT) under the Public Assistance and Employment Services division, and is a collaboration between Fairfax County Government, the MCCP Foundation, and the medical and business communities.
