Healthy Kids/EPSDT 


Healthy Kids is also known as Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT). Healthy Kids/EPSDT is a preventive health program for children and teens. With this program, children and teens get regular checkups to make sure they get the immunizations (vaccinations) and other preventative care they need to catch any health problems at an early stage. 

When should a Healthy Kids checkup be done?

The first check up should be as soon as possible after your children become eligible for medical coverage. Call your doctor to schedule a Healthy Kids appointment.
