Medicaid Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment Fact Sheet answers commonly asked questions about EPSDT, including information on why it was implemented as well as information about the program's success in screening and treating eligible children. The fact sheet provides a discussion of how EPSDT addresses medical screens; vision, hearing, and dental services; interperiodic screens; scope of benefit; and medical necessity. Additional topics include how the Deficit Reduction Act affects EPSDT, how children and families find out about EPSDT, and how to measure EPSDT performance and hold programs accountable. A list of related NHeLP publications and the EPSDT Scope of Benefits are included.
