CHILD HEALTH CHECK-UP (CHCUP)
The CHCUP Suggested Tracking Forms include screening documentation requirements for history and physical lab tests, nutritional, developmental and vision assessment, immunizations, and anticipatory guidance as well as the federal requirement for lead screening.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers additional information about Anticipatory Guidance.
LEAD SCREENING – FEDERAL REQUIREMENT
Federal regulation requires that all Medicaid children receive a screening blood lead test at the ages of 12 months and 24 months, and between the ages of 36 months and 72 months if they have not been previously screened for lead poisoning.
