These are the Healthy Living Initiatives, which include oral health; behavioral health (with a focus on depression); nutrition and fitness (with a focus on obesity); and tobacco cessation.

The tool kits provide information on coding and reimbursement for screening, diagnosis, treatment and referral in the following areas:

The tool kits are located on the Department’s Healthy Living web page.
