Idaho Administrative Code ( IDAPA) 16.03.09.880-883 defines Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Services as Medically necessary services for eligible Medicaid participants under 21 years of age. EPSDT services are health care, diagnostic service, treatment and other measures described in section 1905(a) of the Social Security Act (SSA) necessary to correct or ameliorate defects, physical and mental illness, and conditions discovered by the screening services as defined in Section 1905(r) of the SSA, whether or not such services are covered under the State Plan. Services authorized must be considered, safe, effective, and meet acceptable standards of medical practice, and shall require prior authorization. Services are not covered for cosmetic, convenience, or comfort reasons.

The EPSDT Service request form is used to request prior authorization for outpatient behavioral health services for a child under 21 years of age that are deemed medically necessary and are not covered by the Idaho Behavioral Health Plan.
