  Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment 

EPSDT is a program that provides well-child, comprehensive and preventive health care screenings and services to children through the month in which their 21st birthday falls. The basic screening package includes a comprehensive health and developmental history, assessment of physical and mental development, a comprehensive unclothed physical examination, age-appropriate immunizations, appropriate laboratory tests and health education. Screenings should be provided according to the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Guidelines for Health Supervision (Pre-1995 recommendations and the required standards established by HCFA (42 CFR 441.50 - 441.62). The provider is responsible for assuring that children through the month of their 21st birthday are screened according to this schedule and that the diagnostic and treatment services found medically necessary as a part of EPSDT, yet not covered by the Title XIX SC State Medicaid Plan, are provided.
