The FFY02 HCFA416 report indicates that the screening ratio for children <1 year of age has dropped to 25%. However this is believed to be currently underreported. FFY03 data is not available at the time of this report. Medicaid will be addressing the issue of correct coding for wellness visits in FFY04.
Immunizations: No change. For the first three series of shots, Idaho's rate of immunizations is in the low 90s. By the time children are ready to go to school the rate is approximately 95%. Similar to other states, rates reflect a decline in the percentage for the 2 year old age group.
