If you are thinking about getting back into Medicaid but are uncertain how the program works, you might want to check out a series of online continuing medical education courses available on the Texas Department of State Health Services Web site.
The courses provide valuable information on the Texas Health Steps and Vaccines for Children programs for physicians who want to treat children's Medicaid patients. Texas Health Steps, also known as the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program, is Medicaid's comprehensive and preventive child health service.
The courses also give you information on adolescent health screening, case management, developmental screening, cultural competency, immunizations, mental health screening, newborn hearing screening, and more.
This training is designed to improve comprehensive preventive health, mental health, dental, and case management services for Medicaid-eligible children up to 20 years old.
The 16 self-paced courses are free and offer CME credit. Target audiences for the various courses include physicians, nurses, physician assistants, midwives, dentists, and other health care professionals.
