Appointment Sheet Instructions

Introduction

An Appoinment Sheet is a monthly listing of Medicaid-approved children assigned to a specific provider who are due for a HealthCheck exam. The sheet is sent to each provider so that the child can be scheduled and the results of the exam recorded and returned to HealthCheck staff.

HealthCheck is responsible for reporting the numbers of children who have received HealthCheck exams to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, (CMS), formerly known as HCFA.

The Appointment Sheets provide  HealthCheck with the most current and accurate information regarding the status of each child.

Sample Appointment Sheet

Instructions on completing the Appointment Sheet

Information on completing each appointment sheet is contained at the bottom of each sheet. Providers are requested to record the following in the last 3 columns:

Actual Exam Date

Result "K" for Kept Appt., "C" for Cancelled Appt., and "M" for Missed Appt.

Referrals & Comments - Referrals, including physician name, and date scheduled must be recorded so that HealthCheck can track the services the child receives.

At the end of each month, this information should be returned to the HealthCheck Family Outreach Worker whose name and address appears at the bottom of the Appointment Sheet. If an appointment sheet has not been returned to the Family Outreach Worker and the Family Outreach Worker has no other means of determining whether the child received a HealthCheck exam, the names of the children on that sheet must be carried over to the next month's appointment sheet.
