Does a school need to have an established clinic for an EPSDT nurse?
Grant recipients receive funding to add or renovate a school clinic – an amount not to exceed $10,000 – including the purchase of all equipment and supplies. The Division of Medicaid specifies the equipment and supplies that must be available in all clinics that offer EPSDT screening services. Medicaid issues a provider number to each site, and an onsite clinic inspection must be conducted by an EPSDT Review Nurse from the Maternal Child Health Bureau prior to EPSDT screenings and submission of Medicaid claims for screening services.
