Abstract

The Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program is the child health component of Medicaid. Despite EPSDT's broad benefits, studies and state policymakers' experience suggest that not all children are receiving the services to which they are entitled.

This brief explores states efforts and opportunities to improve access to treatment services in EPSDT (abstract from: http://nashp.org/pubs-date).
