TO: EPSDT Providers
RE: EPSDT Services for Justice Involved Youth
The Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid) posted a recorded webinar for Medicaid providers regarding Early, Periodic, Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) services for justice involved youth (JIY) in Alabama. State Medicaid programs are required to implement coverage described in section 5121 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (CAA, 2023) which was signed into law on December 29, 2022.
The recording is located at https://youtu.be/Zxl85lACe4c?si=wm8U1MGRcpK2lgTk .
The CAA, 2023 requires states to provide EPSDT and Targeted Case Management (TCM) services to incarcerated youth post adjudication 30 days prior to release, and TCM for at least 30 days post release for eligible juveniles. If it is not possible to provide the services 30 days prior to release, it is expected that the screening and diagnostic services be provided within the week following release, or as soon as practical after the release.
EPSDT services informationis listed in Appendix A of the Provider Billing Manual. Additional updates will be posted at www.Medicaid.Alabama.gov , under the Programs tab, EPSDT.
