Preventive and Screening Services Under Age 21

Some preventive and screening services previously provided by the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program will continue to be provided by the Managed Care Plan (MCP). Health Net provides preventive, well-child screening services to children and youth under age 21. These services encompass the requirements of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT)/Medi-Cal for Kids & Teens program, and aim to prevent childhood disability by screening children during critical times of growth and development and making referrals necessary to improving their health.

Preventive and screening service must be provided in accordance with the most recent AAP Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care (PDF) and, the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule (PDF) based on joint recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
