What is a CHDP referral?
One of the goals of the CHDP Program is to find any medical, dental, nutritional and developmental problems that a child may have before the problems become too severe for treatment. Once a medical, dental, nutritional or developmental problem is identified during CHDP health exam, the child may need further diagnosis and/or treatment of that problem. The CHDP provider is obligated to make the referrals to assist the family to obtain the care their children need.
