Department of Health Services
January 16, 2009
The Honorable, The Senate:
Wisconsin Statue s. 49.45(2)(a)20 directs the Department of Health Services to submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Finance on the "Participation Rates of Children in the Early and Periodic Screening and Diagnosis Program." In Wisconsin, we have named this program "HealthCheck."
The report's purpose is to identify significant activities of Wisconsin Medicaid's HealthCheck program and, particularly, to report on the percent of children who receive comprehensive health care screens through HealthCheck.
Wisconsin's screening ratio increased from 65 percent in 2001 to 88 percent in 2007. Since tracking of the screening ratio began in 1992, the ratio has increased from 27 percent to the current 88 percent.
I am pleased to send you the completed report for federal fiscal year 2007.
Sincerely,
karen e. timberlake
Secretary
