DPW requires that all Medical Assistance providers conduct developmental surveillance and screening for developmental delays and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) at appropriate intervals. These requirements have also been integrated into Pennsylvania's EPSDT Periodicity Schedule. Health Partners providers are reminded that they must use the medical record to document all surveillance, screening and referral activities, and must include a copy of the completed validated developmental or autism screening tool used to conduct the screening.
Providers may choose to use any validated screening tool. A list of some currently validated tools can be accessed below. |
