The HealthCheck
Provider Education System is based primarily on information from
the following sources:
 |
The HealthCheck
Manual and Periodicity Schedule developed
by the Department of Health Medical Assistance Administration
Office of Children and Families and the Office of Managed
Care.
|
The
manual was developed in
collaboration
with many organizations and agencies. The content of this
manual is based on the information available at time of
publication and will be reviewed and updated periodically.

Bright
Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision for Infants, Children,
and Adolescents and its companion Pocket
Guide developed by Bright Futures at Georgetown
University.
|
| |
The guidelines
are consistent with those of the American Academy of Pediatrics
and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and were
developed with the support of the Health Resources and Services
Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
|
 |
Medicaid
and EPSDT information from the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services. |
| |
This
resource contains information on the EPSDT program including
