DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES AND<br />

PROBATION DEPARTMENT<br />

REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL/DENTAL EXAMS FOR PLACED CHILDREN<br />

EXHIBIT A-IX<br />

The <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Children</strong> <strong>and</strong> Family Services (DCFS) <strong>and</strong> Probation <strong>Department</strong> policy<br />

on medical/dental exam frequency is different from the State CHDP frequency <strong>and</strong> we are<br />

auditing to the DCFS <strong>and</strong> Probation policy.<br />

• <strong>Children</strong> under two years <strong>of</strong> age are to receive exams every one, two or three months<br />

based on age (see attached chart).<br />

• <strong>Children</strong> two <strong>and</strong> over are to receive medical/dental exams within CHDP frequency<br />

requirements or annually, whichever is more frequent. This means that all placed children<br />

age two years <strong>and</strong> older must have at least annual medical exams.<br />

• All children age three years <strong>and</strong> older must have annual dental exams.
