Child & Teen Checkup

Child and Teen Checkups are routine health checkups for youth (from birth to age 21) on Medical Assistance. Checkups take place at their regular medical and dental clinic. Medical and dental checkups can help find and treat health problems early.

At a Checkup

• Development and behavioral screenings
• Education about the next stage of your child or teen's growth and development
• Height, weight and other growth measurements/physical exam
• Immunizations (shots)
• Lab tests / risk assessment
• Referral to a dentist and fluoride varnish (to help prevent tooth decay)
• Screening for lead
• Social-emotional and mental health screenings
• Time with your health care provider to talk about your questions and concerns
• Vision and hearing tests
