Children in Medi-Cal Receiving all Required Lead Tests

From 2009-10 through 2017-18, 1.4 million of the 2.9 million one- and two-year-old eligible children in Medi-Cal were not tested.

An additional 740,000 children missed one of the two tests they should have received during those years.

Only 780,000 of the 2.9 million eligible children were fully tested (less than 27%).

36.1% of California children had at least one lead test (as opposed to the U.S. average of 44.9%).
