The Lead-Free Promise Project has developed a toolkit for primary care offices in Pennsylvania for a child with an elevated blood lead level along with additional resources and information about the Pennsylvania Lead Free Promise Project and the coalition. The toolkit offers resources on:
- Getting free home lead inspections for patients with Medicaid and CHIP (and how to assist families with private coverage)
- Connecting families with low incomes to the 22 free remediation programs across the state (and how to assist families who have higher incomes and don’t qualify)
- Accessing the care management staff at all the Medicaid and CHIP plans in the state (names, phone numbers, and emails)
- Accessing the local county health department or the state DOH nurses to assist with care management
- Accessing Early Intervention, WIC, and other resources
