The Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program was expanded and renamed the Healthy, Children and Youth (HCY) Program.

Diagnosis and treatment Services previously available to Medicaid eligible children under a EPSDT Program, have been expanded to cover those qualifying under the Medicaid "state plan".   Now all Title XIX Medicaid eligible individuals are equally eligible for Services covered by the state plan.

The HCY program allows for coverage of all medically necessary Services which, when identified through an HCY screening, exceed the scope of the state plan. 

The expanded goals provide all Medicaid eligible children with appropriate full health screens and subsequent treatment for identified health problems.  Partial and inter-periodic screenings are available from a wide range of health care professionals.  For more information contact the Bureau of Special Health Care Needs at 573/751-6246.
