Perform the Screenings Sample Clauses
Perform the Screenings. MCOs must provide screenings (periodic comprehensive child health assessments) according to the West Virginia Periodicity Schedule to all enrollees eligible to receive them. The Periodicity Schedule is maintained by the Office of Maternal and Child Health within the Bureau for Public Health at the Department for Health and Human Resources and corresponds to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents. Covered screening services are regularly scheduled examinations and evaluations of the general physical and mental health, growth, development, and nutritional status of infants, children, and youth. At a minimum, these screenings must include, but are not limited to:
1. A comprehensive health and developmental history (including assessment of both physical and mental health development);
2. An unclothed physical exam that should be supervised;
3. Laboratory tests (including blood lead screening appropriate for age and risk factors);
4. Vision testing;
5. Appropriate immunizations, in accordance with the schedule for pediatric vaccines established by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP);
6. Hearing testing;
7. Dental services (furnished by direct referral to a dentist for children beginning beginning six (6) months after the first tooth erupts or by twelve (12) months of age );
8. Behavioral health screening; and
9. Health education (including anticipatory guidance). MCOs must also provide inter-periodic screenings, which are any encounters with a health professional practicing within the scope of his or her practice and who provides Medically Necessary health care, diagnosis, or treatment to determine the existence of a suspected illness or condition, or a change or complication to a pre-existing condition. The inter-periodic screen is used to determine if there is a problem that was not evident at the time of the regularly scheduled screen but needs to be addressed before the next scheduled screen.
