Eligibility for Lead Screening

Lead Screening is available for clients during scheduled WIC visits or with an appointment.  


Medicaid can be billed for the screening, or the cost of the screening is $27.67.  


Hazards of Lead in Children


Low to moderate levels of lead may cause problems with development, behavior, and hearing.  


High levels of lead may cause coma, convulsions, and death.
