KIDMED
is the screening component of one of Louisiana’s Early
Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Programs.
EPSDT
provides preventive health screening,
diagnosis, and treatment services for suspected vision, hearing, dental
and medical problems. Louisiana has been nationally recognized as
having one of the top five EPSDT programs in the nation, exceeding
goals for EPSDT participation set by the Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS). EPSDT services are available to
Medicaid-eligible children under the age of 21. EPSDT benefits end on
the child’s 21st birthday.
Note: To apply for Medicaid or make other
inquiries regarding Medicaid eligibility, please contact the parish
office located in the parish where you live. To review a list of parish
