Healthcare for babies
Children should see their doctors regularly from birth through age 20, to make sure they are and stay healthy.

This special set of federal benefits is called Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) preventive screening services. These services help your child’s doctor find and treat health problems early, so your child can have the best possible health and development possible.
These services are free and cover:
Well-child checkups that follow AAP/Bright Future schedule guidelines - Annual checkups for Medicaid recipients in Louisiana between the ages of 3 and 20
- Hearing, vision, and dental screenings to diagnose any health problems your child may have
- Medical and dental treatments and equipment determined as medically necessary
Your baby needs a checkup between 3 and 5 days of birth. If you do not have a doctor for your baby (pediatrician), use our online
