We were told to accept what the doctor uses, that it wasn’t our responsibility to question what they used…….and that it couldn’t just be “EPSDT” or “Well Child”
Yukiko, here is my thoughts, just for you and/or board, on this topic.
I think this is a question for you to clarify with the state or CMS. Are EIDT’s, in any way, accountable for what the doctors decide to do?? Even if we know they are using the wrong (by what is stated in these regs) screening, it is not our place, nor are they likely to listen, to tell them they are wrong.
Can we get the state or CMS, or whoever has the control of this, to give us a best practice answer? We, as providers, can speculate and try to educate doctors, but anybody that has done this long knows most doctors are not prone to listening to someone else telling them how to do their job.
