The program is designed to reduce physical, emotional and mental disabilities by screening children to identify conditions needing treatment as early as possible. The EPSDT Program requires that all children and youth under the age of 21 who are certified as eligible to the California Medical Assistance Program (Medi-Cal) must be informed of the availability of periodic health examinations and dental exams and must be encouraged to take advantage of services under the program. This Plan and Budget was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Advisory Board on November 6, 1986. The Board Chairman should sign five copies of the certification page, four of which should then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State Department of Health Services .
