Description: The purpose of the Bright Futures Pediatric Implementation (BFPI) cooperative agreement is to improve health outcomes for the nation&#8217;s infants, children, and adolescents by increasing the quality of primary and preventive care through the use of age-specific, evidence-driven clinical guidelines. The BFPI Program achieves this goal by spreading use of the Bright Futures Guidelines, which reflect consensus among primary health care experts on the latest, state-of-the-art design for preventive checkups. The Bright Futures Periodicity Schedule has been determined to be part of the evidence-informed preventive care and screenings for infants, children, and adolescents provided for in the HRSA-supported comprehensive guidelines under section 2713(a)(3) of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300gg-13(a)(3). Under this provision, non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers must provide coverage of such preventive care and screenings without a co-payment or deductible.
