43.2.2 THSteps Medical Check Ups Periodicity Schedule
The client is periodically eligible for medical check up services based on the THSteps medical check ups periodicity schedule. All the check ups listed on the periodicity schedule have been developed based on recommendations of the AAP. The AAP continues to emphasize the importance of separate counseling and anticipatory guidance for the client and the accompanying parent/guardian during the adolescent years. In Texas the THSteps program has modified the AAP periodicity schedule based on the scheduling of a laboratory or other test in federal EPSDT regulations, state statutes or other programs, or to meet the population's needs.
