[Ohioaap-practicemanagers] Fwd: 30 month developmental screen

[Jon Price]

2 Quick questions for the group on behalf of your colleagues: have you had children in for developmental screenings, maybe as part of a check up at 30 months? What payers don't pay for developmental screens at 30 mos of age?
   Thanks,
      Jon Price
