This white paper is based on an October 18, 1995, meeting held in Washington, D.C., of federal and state health officials and health plan representatives. The meeting focused on the delivery of quality health services to children through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) program as principles of Medicaid managed care are applied to them. The report describes the attributes of EPSDT and Medicaid managed care and identifies areas of concern where they overlap. Included in the report are perspectives from the U.S. Health Care Financing Administration, state governments, and health plans on the delivery of EPSDT services. The focus is on developing systems to collect data and assure the delivery of quality services.

This program is Utah's version of the federally mandated Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment Program (EPSDT). The major objectives of the program are to: provide an accessible, comprehensive screening program; ensure that children who have health problems found at screening receive the necessary diagnostic and treatment services; coordinate care to families of children who need multiple specialized services over an extended period of time; provide consumer education to parents; to conduct effective outreach/education activities; provide assistance to families in making medical and dental appointments and in obtaining needed transportation; utilize a case management and reporting system which provides necessary program documentation and data for program evaluation.

This report is the study of the oral health care component of Medicaid programs in a sample of seven states to answer whether basic oral health services are provided and whether programs impose barriers that restrict eligible children's access to these services. The scope of this study is purposely narrow, focusing on only a small part of the health care system and only a handful of the population it serves. The report presents two topics of concern, which are Medicaid and the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) programs and barriers to oral health care under Medicaid and EPSDT.
