The purpose of the Child/Teen Health Program (CTHP) is to promote the provision of early and periodic screening services (well care examinations), with diagnosis and treatment of any health problems identified during the conduct of well care, to Medicaid eligibles under 21 years of age. These services are referred to federally as Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) services. While the State waits for Congress to come to a consensus on a federal block grant for Medicaid, EPSDT services continue as a mandate for Medicaid eligible children under 21 years of age.
