relating to services for mandatory medicaid benefits
early and periodic screening, diagnostic, and treatment (epsdt) services are available to __________.
all children enrolled in medicaid
qualified individuals over age 65
individuals who are dual eligible
children under the age of 12

Explanation:

EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) is a mandatory Medicaid benefit. Medicaid is a joint federal - state program that provides health coverage to low - income individuals. EPSDT specifically targets children. It is designed to ensure that children enrolled in Medicaid receive comprehensive preventive and diagnostic services. Qualified individuals over age 65 are more likely to be covered by Medicare (for those 65 and older in the US). Dual - eligible individuals (those eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare) may have access to some Medicaid services, but EPSDT is not targeted at them as a group. Limiting it to children under 12 is incorrect as EPSDT is for all children enrolled in Medicaid, not just those under 12.

Answer:

all children enrolled in Medicaid
