Summary
Illinois Medicaid updated their Healthy Kids provider handbook to add new acceptable screening tools: Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services (GAPS) for health risk assessment, Dial 3 for developmental screening, and revised dental screening language. Providers must replace specific handbook pages with updated versions.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must update their Healthy Kids handbook by replacing three specific pages - remove April 2002 pages HK-203 (14), (21), and (22-23) and insert new April 2004 versions covering developmental screening tools, dental screening, and risk assessment. Download updated pages from department website or request printed copies. Share changes with software vendors and billing staff to ensure proper use of new screening tools GAPS and Dial 3.
