This knowledge path about Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) services in Medicaid has been compiled by the Maternal and Child Health Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current, high-quality resources about providing and strengthening EPSDT services. The path includes guidelines for the frequency, timing, and content of health-promotion and disease-prevention services for infants, children, and adolescents.

A special topics area lists resources about oral health services as part of the EPSDT benefit. The knowledge path will be updated periodically.
