REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: The County ' s Child Health and Disability Prevention Program is mandated by California Health and Safety Code Section 320.5 and complies with the Child Health and Disability Prevention Act which implements the Early, Periodic , Screening , Diagnosis and Treatment Program required by Title XIX of the Social Security Act . The screening, diagnosis and treatment requirements are, under the State CHDP regulations , the obligation of the local CHDP program of the County Health Services Department . The goals of the CHDP Program are ( 1 ) to convey full information to all target population members and/or parents concerning availability of, CHDP services ; and (2 ) to provide to the maximum feasible percentage of the target population the actual services of health and "dental screening with appropriate diagnosis and follow-up treatment . The program is designed to reduce physi- cal , 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 year , the State has added another component , "Prenatal Guidance" to the Annual CHDP/EPSDT Plan, providing additional funding for this service activity. This new activity is designed to locate "hard to .reach pregnant women" and assist them in obtaining early prenatal care . EPSDT staff will con- centrate their efforts on providing services , within specific targeted census tracts , to women who do not seek prenatal care or do so only in the third trimester of pregnancy. The expected outcomes of this new activity are two-fold: ( 1 ) prevention of complications of pregnancy which result in birth of infants who are medically at risk, and ( 2 ) cost savings to the County medi- cal health care system by the women' s early entry into prenatal care . This Plan and Budget was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Maternal , Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Advisory Board on September 10 , 1988 . The Board Chairman should sign seven copies of the certification page , six of which should then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State Department of Health Services .
