    The Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program (EPSDT) has developed a Web-based tool designed to help Medicaid and state maternal and child health (MCH) agencies identify opportunities for working together to ensure children's access to and receipt of the full range of EPSDT program services. The Web site was developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau in partnership with George Washington University's Department of Health Policy. The Web site provides information about how Medicaid's EPSDT program works with public health, families, managed care organizations, pediatricians, and other health professionals to finance appropriate and necessary pediatric services. Information about the role of MCH programs in fulfilling the potential of EPSDT, family support strategies, data monitoring, and policy and legislative issues is also included. The Web site is available at http://www.hrsa.gov/epsdt.
