EPSDT
Increase EPSDT Visits and Screenings Through Conversations at Scale
Drive members to complete essential visits using words of encouragement.
The EPSDT benefit is key to ensuring that children and adolescent Medicaid members receive appropriate preventive, dental, mental health, developmental, and specialty services. It’s also a major priority for state and federal regulators. Plans devote significant resources to incentive programs, community resources, and provider alignment to encourage EPSDT participation.
But only 59% of eligible members receive an initial or periodic screening. Members and families across large and diverse populations not only need to be aware of the importance of these screenings, but they also need to be connected to available resources.
mPulse Mobile’s EPSDT solution uses tailored reminders to drive population-level improvement for essential visits and screenings.
Conversational outreach strengthens the relationship between you and your members. Using tailored communications at scale links members and guardians to your EPSDT initiatives, builds health literacy when needed, and provides actionable insights about your population’s needs and barriers to participation.
