What is Health Check?
|
Health Check is a program for children ages birth through twenty (20) years that provides the following benefits:
- Head to Toe Physical Exam
- Immunizations (shots)
- Lab Tests (Blood Tests and Lead Screening)
- Growth and Developmental Check
- Nutrition Check (Eating Habits)
- Eye Exam
- Health Information
- Mental/Behavioral Health Assessment
- Other Health Care You Need (prescribed by your physician and approved by EqualityCare)
- Teen-age Health Education
- Teen Pregnancy Services
EqualityCare (Medicaid) will pay for all Health Check screening exams and for all authorized follow-up care and treatment as long as your child is receiving EqualityCare (Medicaid).
Why are regular checkups important?
Health Check Exams are important to your child's health. Many health problems begin before your child looks or feels sick. Regular Health Check exams can find problems and treat them before they get worse.
