MEDICAID: KNOW YOUR CHILD’s RIGHTS

A federal law requires Medicaid to provide all medically necessary health care services to Medicaid-eligible children.


Understanding EPSDT

The Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program is the child health component of Medicaid. Medicaid benefits and rules can vary from state to state, but EPSDT is mandatory in all states.

Early
Identifying problems early, starting at birth.
Periodic
Checking children's health at periodic, age-appropriate intervals.
Screening
Doing physical, mental, developmental, dental, hearing, vision, and other screening tests to detect potential problems.
Diagnosis
Performing diagnostic tests to follow up when a risk is identified.
Treatment
Treating the problems found.

Please join us October 22nd at 10:00 at ATECH, 57 Regional Drive in Concord for a free workshop with a question and answer segment. Rebecca Whitley and Karen Rosenberg, staff attorneys from the Disability Rights Center, will provide an in depth overview of EPSDT. This workshop will provide an opportunity for parents, caregivers and professionals to learn about what Medicaid is required to cover for children up to age 21 under federal law. You will also learn about the recent announcement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on treatment of children with Autism, including Applied Behavior Analysis.

Space is limited so please RSVP to funkyplanet@comcast.net or call 226-2900 ext 23

Testimonial

"I've worked with Constellations Behavioral Services for years and had great outcomes as a result of their work. In my experience every case is unique, and a blanket program approach does not work well. Constellations customizes their approach to suit each student individually and our kids respond really well as a result. The recommendations from their team have added a much needed layer to our school's team."

How Can ABA Help?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is one of the most highly recommended, scientifically proven treatments for children with autism or other developmental delays. It’s been endorsed by a wide range of state and federal agencies including The American Academy of Pediatrics, National Academies of Science, The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and the U.S. Surgeon General.
