The health assessment must have <br /> been completed within 12 months prior to the date of entry to public school. If the school <br /> hasn't received the health assessment form and a record of completed immunizations <br /> by the 30th calendar day from the first day of a child's attendance, the principal is <br /> required by law to exclude the child from school on the 31 st day until such evidence has <br /> been presented by the parent or guardian. <br /> Many children come to the health department for their school health assessment and <br /> immunizations during that 30-calendar day period before school exclusion. If an age- <br /> appropriate child health preventive health visit cannot be performed during time allotted <br /> for the School Health Assessment, the NC Division of Child and Family Well-Being, <br /> Whole Child Health Section allows for a Stand-Alone School Health Assessment at a <br /> fixed rate to improve access for children and adolescents to avoid exclusion from <br /> school. The Personal Health Services Division would like to add the following fee to <br /> their fee schedule in order to bill for the allowable stand-alone fee. <br /> 2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z02.0 - Encounter for examination for admission <br /> to educational institution - $40.00 <br />
