Section 33.41 - Periodicity of Medical and Dental Check-Ups(a) Medical check-ups periodicity. Clients are eligible to receive a comprehensive medical check-up at the intervals set forth in the TMPPM and current THSteps outreach and informing materials distributed to eligible clients and their families. The periodicity of medical check-ups is at least as frequent as that recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Clients are also eligible to receive a medical check-up, even if one is not due under the periodicity schedule, if: (1) there are indications that a health screening is medically necessary; or(2) required to meet a state or federal law requirement, such as a child entering Head Start or foster care, or in a pre-adoptive placement.(b) Dental check-ups periodicity. Clients are eligible to receive dental check-ups at six-month intervals, based on the date of the client's last dental check-up. Clients less than three years of age may be eligible to receive dental check-ups at three-month intervals if identified during a dental visit as being at high risk for developing dental disease.25 Tex.
