Texas Health Steps - Public Health Region 1
Purpose
Texas Health Steps (THSteps) is the Texas name given to the federally mandated program known as EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment). It is a service of the Texas Medicaid program. THSteps provides preventive health care services at regular and periodic intervals to Medicaid clients who are from birth through 20 years of age.
Mission
The mission of Texas Health Steps (THSteps) is to expand client awareness of existing health services, to recruit and retain a qualified provider pool, and to ensure comprehensive services are available through public and private providers so that eligible young people in the Texas Health Steps client population can receive medical and dental care before health problems become chronic and irreversible.
