Correction to “Update to Preventive Care Medical Checkup Components in the CSHCN Services Program Provider Manual”

Last updated on

This is a correction to the article titled “Update to Preventive Care Medical Checkup Components in the CSHCN Services Program Provider Manual,” which was published on this website on October 3, 2025.

The article incorrectly stated that a Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)-certified provider must complete the intermediate oral evaluation.

The correct statement is:

A Texas Health Steps-certified oral evaluation and fluoride varnish (OEFV) provider must complete the intermediate oral evaluation, but the provider can delegate all other components.

The Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP) will update the December 1, 2025, Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program Provider Manual, Chapter 31, “Physician,” “Oral Evaluation and Fluoride Varnish in the Medical Home (OEFV).”
