The MO HealthNet Division adopted the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule as the standards for Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment screenings for children covered by Missouri’s Medicaid program. The EPSDT program provides Medicaid-eligible children regular health care, developmental and behavioral health screenings, as well as any treatments or therapies needed for healthy, normal development. Effective immediately, providers must document the screenings in accordance with the Bright Futures schedule and may do so in the electronic medical record.
