A healthchek screening examination or its equivalent constitutes comprehensive health care for all children in placement.(B) The public children services agency (PCSA), private child placing agency (PCPA) or private noncustodial agency (PNA) is to develop written interagency procedures to implement comprehensive health care for children in placement between the CDJFS and custody holding agency, if applicable. Interagency procedures are to include documentation that the substitute caregiver has been informed of healthchek services and transportation services and the substitute caregiver has been provided a copy of the ODM 03528 "Healthchek and Pregnancy Related Services Information Sheet." (C) The PCSA, PCPA or PNA is to review and amend the interagency procedures developed pursuant to paragraph (B) of this rule, as needed.Ohio Admin. Code 5101:2-42-66
