The Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion will host this webi­nar, which will pro­vide guid­ance on using Med­ic­aid to sup­port youth — under age 21 — involved in the jus­tice sys­tem from pre­ven­tion and diver­sion through incar­cer­a­tion and reentry.

The upcoming webinar will clar­i­fy how Med­ic­aid ben­e­fits con­nect across the care con­tin­u­um, including:
* the ser­vices guar­an­teed under the fed­er­al­ly man­dat­ed Ear­ly and Peri­od­ic Screen­ing, Diag­nos­tic, and Treat­ment (EPS­DT);
* the inter­sec­tion between EPS­DT and the new fed­er­al require­ments (effec­tive Jan. 1, 2025) for pro­vid­ing health care to youth re-enter­ing com­mu­ni­ties from incar­cer­a­tion; and
* strate­gies for using Med­ic­aid to lim­it and pre­vent jus­tice-sys­tem involve­ment and ensure con­ti­nu­ity of care dur­ing reentry.

Attendees will learn more about the extent of the sup­port and ser­vices available to young people on Medicaid. Juris­dic­tions can real­ly take advan­tage of EPS­DT to ensure that a young person’s health care — includ­ing ser­vices to treat men­tal health and trau­ma — are pro­vid­ed through their health care deliv­ery system.
