Health Tracks
North Dakota Health Tracks, also known as Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program, is a preventative health care program for newborns, children and young adults through age 20 who are enrolled in Medicaid. To see if you are eligible for North Dakota Medicaid see income guidelines.
The program is made up of comprehensive periodic screenings and well-child checkups that help prevent and identify health problems before they become too complex and costly to treat.
