Medicaid Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program provides
for well-child examinations and related treatment of medical problems. Children in the WIC
program are often referred for immunizations, but that is not the primary focus of the program.
Public Law 99-457 provides financial incentives to states to establish comprehensive early
intervention services for infants and toddlers with, or at risk for, developmental disabilities.

control without parental consent.
