摘要

Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) under Medicaid is the largest single publicly-sponsored child health program ever undertaken in this country. Created by unheralded sections of the Social Security Amendments of 1967, EPSDT aims to detect and treat correctable conditions in poverty level children and to rescreen children periodically to ensure the maintenance of good health. All persons under age 21 who are eligible for Medicaid are entitled to EPSDT services. At this time, approximately 12 million children are eligible for the program. Unlike other Medicaid services, EPSDT requires states to inform eligible persons about the program and to assure that services needed are available; as with other Medicaid services, payments to providers for services rendered are derived from a combination of state and federal financial support. EPSDT represents a significant extension of health care benefits to poor children as a matter of statutory right.
