Published Date: July 22, 2026

Ensure children and teens in foster care receive two visits per year for Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT), as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

EPSDT evaluations (CPTs 99381 – 99385, 99391 – 99395, 99460 and 99463) should be billed with modifier EP and should include all screenings required by the State for that visit.
