Sec. 823.1. Background and intent

Latest version.

This regulation contains requirements applicable to rehabilitative health and behavioral health services available to children/youth, up to age 21 and their families through the Federal Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) program in New York. The services defined herein focus on preventing the need for more restrictive placement settings and higher intensity services, by increasing culturally and linguistically appropriate, trauma-informed services provided in the most integrated setting possible. Providers must be certified to provide such services when medically necessary and recommended by a practitioner of the healing arts.
