DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES AND PROBATION<br />

DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL/DENTAL EXAMS FOR<br />

PLACED CHILDREN<br />

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

<strong>Department</strong> policy on medical/dental exam frequency is different from the State<br />

CHDP frequency <strong>and</strong> we are 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<br />

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

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

frequency requirements or annually, whichever is more frequent. This means<br />

that all placed children age two years <strong>and</strong> older must have at least annual<br />

medical exams.<br />

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