This district and school board support the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for an annual comprehensive well care visit to the medical home (primary care provider).
Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT or Children’s Medicaid) is a comprehensive and preventive healthcare program for children and youth (up to 21 years of age) receiving Medicaid benefits [link below]. Through EPSDT, children receive health screenings, as well as medically necessary diagnostic and treatment services for identified conditions. One of the EPSDT program objectives is to ensure that children receive appropriate health services and that their full learning potential is not threatened by poor health. • Recommend that all children have a dental home. Primary care physicians or health providers recommend, based on oral health risk assessments, refer to the dentist, as early as six months of age and no later than 12 months of age. (AAPD, 2018)
