Well-Child Care

To stay healthy, young members need to visit with their PCP. These visits are called well-child visits. Well-child visits are important at every age. They are not the same as visits to the PCP when children are sick.

At a well-child visit, the PCP will examine your child. What the PCP does during the exam depends on your child's age. The PCP will check your child's growth based on his or her age, order tests or ask questions about health topics, like:

• Your child's general health
• Your child's diet
• Your child's mental health
• How your child acts with other kids of his or her own age
• You will not be charged for a well-child visit
