About the CHDP Health Assessment Guidelines
The purpose of the Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) Program Health Assessment Guidelines is to set CHDP provider standards for pediatric health assessments for children served by the CHDP Program.
Please note: the CHDP Program will no longer be making updates to current CHDP publications, as the program will be discontinued on July 1, 2024.
The state of California has implemented the American Academy of Pediatrics'
Bright Futures Recommendations for Periodic Preventive Health Care, and also provides detailed guidance via the
Medi-Cal Provider Manuals. Information found in these resources supersedes any contradicting information found within the CHDP Health Assessment Guidelines below. In some cases, the section link below will direct to current guidance on that particular subject. The CHDP Health Assessment Guidelines will be discontinued effective July 1, 2024. For more information regarding the transition of CHDP, visit the
CHDP Transition webpage.
