The federal Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report finding that in nine states Medicaid-eligible children did
not receive all the required number of Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) medical, vision, or hearing screening services. OIG also found
that 76% of children's Medicaid EPSDT screenings were incomplete. OIG recommended that the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services collaborate with
states and provider organizations to develop strategies to encourage beneficiary participation in EPSDT screenings.
