(a) For any condition detected as part of a child health and disability prevention screen for any child eligible for services under Section 104395, if the child was screened by the clinic or upon referral by a child health and disability prevention program provider, unless the child is eligible to receive care with no share of cost under the Medi-Cal program, is covered under another publicly funded program, or the services are payable under private coverage, a clinic shall, as a condition of receiving funds under this article, do all of the following:
(1) Insofar as the clinic directly provides these services for other patients, provide medically necessary followup treatment, including prescription drugs.
(2) Insofar as the clinic does not provide treatment for the condition, arrange for the treatment to be provided.
(b) (1) If any child requires treatment the clinic does not provide, the clinic shall arrange for the treatment to be provided, and the name of that provider shall be noted in the patient’s medical record.
(2) The clinic shall contact the provider or the patient or his or her guardian, or both, within 30 days after the arrangement for the provision of treatment is made, and shall determine if the provider has provided appropriate care, and shall note the results in the patient’s medical record.
(3) If the clinic is not able to determine, within 30 days after the arrangement for the provision of treatment is made, whether the needed treatment was provided, the clinic shall provide written notice to the county child health and disability prevention program director, and shall also provide a copy to the state director of the program.
