MaineCare is excited to announce the new name of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program - VitalCare for Kids!
This new name aims to make the program easier to recognize and remember. Our goal is to help more children and families access important health services, including early screenings, diagnosis, and treatment for children and youth under age 21.
We chose this name after collecting feedback through a series of surveys. Feedback from MaineCare members played an important role in the decision - thank you for sharing your thoughts!
