(a) All Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A beneficiaries up to 72 months of age and older children who are considered as "high risk" for lead poisoning, shall be screened for such through venous or capillary blood tests.

1. Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 8:44-2.11, clinical laboratories are required to report to the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) the results of all lead screenings;

2. The DOH, in turn, will notify the appropriate local board of health of the need to conduct an environmental lead inspection service or hazard assessment of the child's primary residence;

3. The local board of health shall have a certified lead inspector/risk assessor conduct an environmental lead inspection service or hazard assessment of the Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare-Plan A beneficiary's primary residence in order to locate existing lead hazards.

(b) When the initial environmental lead inspection service or hazard assessment of the child's primary residence results in a recommendation for abatement, as defined at N.J.A.C. 8:51-1.4, a reinspection to determine if the lead hazard has been eliminated may be reimbursed.

1. Should the reinspection result in finding a still-existing lead hazard in the child's primary residence, then a second reinspection may be reimbursed.

2. A maximum of two reinspections of the child's primary residence may be reimbursable.
