FOR CHILDREN

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) requires that our contracted providers follow the most recent immunization periodicity schedule of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These schedules are updated regularly and are readily available on the AAP web site using the link below:

Pediatric Immunization Schedule (AAP)

The DHCS contract requires the use of the AAP periodicity schedule of examinations following the Initial Health Assessment. This is in accordance with the standard used to determine frequency of preventive health care visits assessed during medical record reviews. In addition, Medi-Cal managed care providers are required to conduct all screenings required by CHDP. When the periodicity schedules differ, follow the more frequent recommendation.

FOR ADULTS

DHCS requires that our contracted providers make available a core set of preventive services consistent with the "Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, a report of the United States Preventive Services Task Force" (USPSTF). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) makes these recommended services easily available in summary form on their web site and they are updated regularly.
