A pediatric EHR that knows what's due at every age
AgenciesForge supports pediatric care agencies with developmental screening (CDC milestone checklists and the M-CHAT-R autism screen), the Bright Futures periodicity schedule that EPSDT follows, and growth percentiles calculated from the CDC and WHO growth charts, including alerts when a child crosses percentile lines. Vitals are checked against age-based ranges, pain uses age-appropriate scales, and EPSDT claim lines carry the right age codes and EP modifier. Plans start at $199 a month for up to 50 patients, with unlimited clinicians.
Setting up is free. You pay when you go live. Unlimited clinicians on every agency plan.

What a pediatric agency gets
Developmental screening
CDC milestone checklists for each age with act-early recommendations, and the M-CHAT-R autism screen scored with its follow-up rules at 18 and 24 months.
What's due, by age
The Bright Futures periodicity schedule that EPSDT follows, so the screens and visits due at each age are visible before they're missed.
Growth percentiles
Weight, length and head circumference on WHO charts under 2; weight, height and BMI on CDC charts from 2 to 20. Percentile-crossing alerts on both.
Age-based vitals and pain
Heart rate, breathing and blood pressure checked against pediatric ranges; FLACC, CRIES, NIPS, PIPP or self-report pain scales by age.
EPSDT claim lines
Preventive-medicine codes by age, the EP modifier, and pediatric vaccine-administration codes, sent through the included clearinghouse.
Alongside your other services
Pediatric runs as a scope next to home health, behavioral health or waiver services in the same system.
What to check in any pediatric EHR
Adult systems with a pediatric label miss the parts that matter for children:
- Are vital signs judged against age-based ranges, or against adult normals?
- Does it plot growth on WHO charts under 2 and CDC charts after, and catch percentile crossing?
- Does it know which screens the periodicity schedule requires at each visit?
- Does it include a validated autism screen, not only a milestone checklist?
- Does it build EPSDT claim lines with the right age code and modifier for your state?

Is it the right fit?
A good fit
- Pediatric home health and pediatric behavioral health agencies
- Early intervention and developmental services providers
- Agencies adding pediatric services to an adult service line
Probably not a fit
- Children's hospitals and NICUs
- Agencies serving more than 500 active patients (talk to us about a custom plan)
Questions owners ask
Which EHR supports developmental screening, EPSDT periodicity and growth percentiles?
AgenciesForge has all three built in: CDC milestone checklists with act-early recommendations and the M-CHAT-R autism screen, the Bright Futures periodicity schedule that EPSDT follows (so it knows which screens are due at each age), and growth percentiles calculated from the CDC and WHO growth charts.
Which growth charts does it use?
WHO charts for children under 2 and CDC charts from age 2, calculated from the published CDC and WHO data. Beyond a single low or high reading, it flags a child who has crossed two or more major percentile lines, the pattern behind failure to thrive or rapid weight gain.
How does it help with EPSDT billing?
It builds the claim lines for well-child visits: the preventive-medicine code for the child's age, the EP modifier many state Medicaid programs require, and the pediatric vaccine-administration codes. It leaves rates out, because EPSDT rates are set by each state's fee schedule.
Does it handle pediatric vital signs and pain?
Yes. Heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure are checked against age-based ranges rather than adult normals, and pain is scored with scales that fit the child's age: FLACC, CRIES, NIPS and PIPP for children who can't self-report, and a 0 to 10 scale for those who can.
Can one agency run pediatric and adult services?
Yes. Pediatric is a scope an agency turns on alongside its other services, such as home health or behavioral health, so a mixed agency uses one system.
Does it charge per clinician?
No. Every agency plan includes unlimited clinicians. The price is set by active patients: $199 a month for up to 50, $499 for up to 200, $1,099 for up to 500.
