EPSDT – Well Child Visits

It is important for your child to visit their doctor for, and Early Periodic Screen Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) visit which is also known as a Well Child Visit.

EPSDT visits are important for all infants, children, and young adults under 21. There are no charges or co-payments for EPSDT services or any related services for any child under the age of 21 on our health plan. 

Your child’s doctor will want to see your child for their wellness visits at: 

  • 3-5 days old

  • 1 month old

  • 2 months old

  • 4 months old

  • 6 months old

  • 9 months old

  • 12 months old

  • 15 months old

  • 18 months old

  • 2 years old (24 months)

  • 2 ½ years old (30 months) 

  • 3 years old and yearly after until 21 years old

There are many benefits to an EPSDT visit including: 

  • Prevention. Your child gets scheduled immunizations to prevent illness. You also can ask your pediatrician about nutrition and safety in the home and at school.

  • Tracking growth & development. See how much your child has grown in the time since your last visit and talk with your doctor about your child's development. You can discuss your child's milestones, social behaviors, and learning.

  • Raising any concerns. Make a list of topics you want to talk about with your child's pediatrician such as development, behavior, sleep, eating or getting along with other family members. 

  • Team approach: Your child’s doctor can also refer your child to any specialists that your child may need to help with their continued wellness. These referrals are covered by your health plan.

An EPSDT Visit includes: 

  • A comprehensive health and developmental history, including growth and development screening which includes physical, nutritional, and behavioral assessment.

  • Nutritional Assessment provided by a PCP. 

  • Behavioral Health Screening and services provided by a PCP.

  • Developmental Screening Tools used by a PCP. 

  • A comprehensive physical examination. 

  • Appropriate immunization according to age and health history.

  • Laboratory and x-ray tests include blood lead screening assessment and blood lead testing appropriate to age and risk. Blood lead testing is required for all children at 12 and 24 months of age. Blood lead testing is also needed for any 2 to 6-year-old child that has missed earlier tests or when medically needed.

  • Health education, counseling, and chronic disease self-management.

  • Appropriate oral health screening, intended to identify oral pathology, including tooth decay and/or oral lesions, and the application of fluoride varnish conducted by a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner.

  • Appropriate vision, hearing, and speech screenings.

  • TB testing as appropriate to age and risk.

EPSDT services also include:

  • Dental Benefits

  • Preventative Care

  • Fluoride Treatments

  • Dental X-rays

  • Sealants

  • Emergency Care

  • Regular Maintenance

  • Two professional teeth cleanings every year

  • Vision Services including eyeglasses

  • Hearing Services 

EPSDT Visits do not include services that are experimental, that are solely for cosmetic purposes, or that are not cost effective when compared to other interventions.

If you think something may be wrong between visits, call your baby’s provider. In many cases they can answer your questions over the phone. If not, they’ll make an appointment for you to bring your baby in for an office visit. Many of the things new parents worry about turn out to be minor problems.
If you need assistance with transportation to and from medical appointments, please reach out to our Customer Care Department at (833) 318-4146, TTY 711.

Vaccines

Serious disease is still out there. You may not see serious disease in your neighborhood, like your parents or grandparents did. We are protected from these diseases now because of vaccines, but these diseases do still exist. If we were to stop vaccinating, the diseases would return. Making the choice to vaccinate is making the choice to protect your child from vaccine preventable diseases.
The United States currently has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in its history. Before a vaccine is approved and given to children, it is tested extensively. Scientists and medical professionals carefully evaluate all the available information about the vaccine to determine its safety and effectiveness. As new information and science become available, vaccine recommendations are updated.
Your child may feel discomfort or tenderness where he or she got the shot, but this is minor compared to the serious complications that can result from the diseases these vaccines prevent. Nearly all children can be safely vaccinated. There are some exceptions, including children with allergies to something in a vaccine and those with weakened immune systems due to an illness or a medical treatment, such as chemotherapy.

For more information visit: https://whyimmunize.org/. You can access an up-to-date vaccine schedule.

Children’s Rehabilitative Services (CRS) Program

What is CRS?

Children’s Rehabilitative Services (CRS) is a designation given to AHCCCS members who have certain health conditions. CRS designated members get the same AHCCCS services as non-CRS members. They can get care from providers in the community like other members. They may also use special clinics called Multi-Specialty Interdisciplinary Clinics (MSIC). MSICs bring many specialty providers together in one location. They provide family-centered, coordinated care to meet the complex needs of children in the CRS program. MSIC locations and a list of available specialties at each clinic is on page 89. B – UFC/ALTCS helps CRS designated members with coordination and monitoring to make sure special healthcare needs are met. CRS eligibility is determined by the AHCCCS Division of Member Services (DMS).

Who is eligible for CRS?

AHCCCS members may be eligible for CRS designation when they are under 21 years old AND have a qualifying CRS condition. The medical condition must also:

  • Require active treatment; and 
  • Be found by AHCCCS Division of Member Services to meet criteria specified in Arizona law (ARS R9-22-1301-1305). 

A full list of eligible diagnosis can be found here.

A CRS application can be submitted by anyone such as a family member, health care worker, doctor, or health plan staff. Applications must include medical records that show a CRS qualifying condition and active treatment need exist. 

B – UFC/ALTCS is here to help children with CRS eligible conditions. If you have questions about the CRS Program, need help completing an application, or would like to speak to a member of our Pediatric Care Management team. For information, please call our Customer Care Center at (833) 318-4146, TTY 711.

Stages of Pregnancy

Pregnancy usually lasts 40 weeks or about nine months. Every three months are grouped into a trimester. There are three trimesters: First Trimester (weeks 1-13), Second Trimester (weeks 14-27), and Third Trimester (weeks 28-40).

To learn more about the different trimesters, view your B – UFC/ALTCS Prenatal Packet.

There is also a free service called text4baby that will send you three, free messages a week to guide you through your pregnancy and your baby’s first year. To sign up, text 'BABY' to 511411 or visit here.


Preparing for Your Baby and Childbirth

Childbirth and Childbirth Classes

As your due date gets closer, it’s a good idea to sign up for childbirth education available at most hospitals. Take this time to prepare yourself as much as possible about childbirth and becoming a new parent.

It is best to let labor start on its own and allow your baby to grow and develop the full 40 weeks of pregnancy. While being done with pregnancy may seem tempting, especially during those last few weeks, inducing labor is associated with increased risks, including prematurity, a cesarean section, hemorrhage and infection.

Induction of labor or a cesarean section should only be scheduled before 39 weeks for medical reasons—not for convenience or scheduling concerns. If your doctor is worried about the health of your baby, an induction or cesarean section may still be the best option.

For more information, speak with your healthcare provider, visit www.marchofdimes.org or contact the B – UFC/ALTCS Maternal Child Health Department to speak with an OB Case Manager.

If You Choose Breastfeeding

Did you know that your health plan can provide you a free breast pump? You can call B – UFC/ALTCS’s Customer Care Center at (833) 318-4146, TTY 711 to get more information.

They offer a 24/7 breastfeeding support hotline as well as free breastfeeding classes to help support your breastfeeding goals (800) 2525-WIC. WIC can also assist in covering the cost of formula if you choose to bottle feed your baby.


Postpartum

After the birth of your baby, your body will recover from delivery. Plan to take it easy, sleep when the baby sleeps, and ask for help when you need it. Some normal changes after delivery are:

  • Vaginal discharge called lochia (LOH-kee-uh). It is the tissue and blood that lined your uterus during pregnancy. It is heavy and bright red at first, becoming lighter in flow and color until it goes away after a few weeks.
  • Swelling in your legs and feet. Keep your feet elevated when possible.
  • Difficulty having a bowel movement. Try to drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Menstrual-like cramping is common, especially if you are breastfeeding.
  • Your breast milk will come in within two to four days after your delivery. Even if you are not breastfeeding, you can have milk leaking from your nipples, and your breasts might feel full, tender, or uncomfortable.

To learn more about when you should call your doctor after you deliver, please view our Postpartum Guide:


Visiting Your Doctor 

Your doctor will want to see you after delivery, usually between two and six weeks or sooner if you delivered by cesarean section. This appointment is very important. Your doctor will make sure you have recovered after your delivery and will also talk to you about your birth control options. Ask your doctor when you should follow-up after delivery. 

Your baby will have frequent appointments with their pediatrician in the first 3 years of their lives. Well child checks are a covered benefit for your baby and are usually scheduled 2-3 days after birth, 1- month, 2-months, 4-months, 6-months, 9-months, 1-year, 18-months, 2- years, 30-months and 3-years of age. After 3, well child checks are usually scheduled yearly. 

If you need help choosing a doctor, scheduling an appointment, or getting a ride please call our Customer Care Center at (833) 318-4146, TTY 711.

For information related to well child checks, please view our Postpartum Guide:

Postpartum Depression

After childbirth, you may feel sad, weepy, and overwhelmed for a few days. Many new mothers have the “baby blues” after giving birth. Changing hormones, anxiety about caring for the baby, and lack of sleep all affect your emotions. 

Be patient with yourself. These feelings are normal and usually go away quickly. However, if sadness lasts more than two weeks, go see your doctor. Don’t wait until your postpartum visit to do so. You might have a serious but treatable condition called postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can happen any time within the first year after birth.

If you have any of these signs, or if the signs get worse, call your doctor or Postpartum Support International Arizona Warmline at (800) 944-4773. There are things you and your provider can do to help you feel better. If you are worried about hurting yourself or your baby, call 911.
