Ohio Complex Medical Help supports Ohio residents under age 26 who have qualifying special health care needs; current county public-health guidance explicitly lists cancer. Its diagnostic program can pay for evaluation and testing without an income restriction, while the treatment program can cover approved physician visits, prescriptions, therapies, equipment, surgery, and hospitalization subject to medical and financial eligibility. A CMH-approved physician must submit the medical application, which the parent or guardian signs; a local public health nurse can help start the referral and may request a financial application and tax forms.
