Child wellness visits

Typically, your child’s primary care provider (PCP) will ask you to bring in your child for regular wellness visits at birth and when your child is:¹

• 3-5 days old for newborns discharged in less than 48 hours after delivery
• 1 month old
• 2 months old
• 4 months old
• 6 months old
• 9 months old
• 12 months old
• 15 months old
• 18 months old
• 24 months old
• 30 months old
• Once every year for ages 3 – 20

These visits help your child’s doctor detect, diagnose, and treat health problems as early as possible. Children older than 24 months through age 20 can have an in-person or virtual care (telehealth) visit, if the doctor offers this service.

Well-being visits can include:

• Dental screenings
• Growth measurements
• Immunizations and vaccines
• Other important tests and services
• Physical exams
• Preventive and comprehensive services
• Referrals for diagnosis and treatment, if necessary
• Vision and hearing screenings

If your child has a virtual care (telehealth) visit, the doctor will set up a follow-up in-person visit for a physical exam, vaccines, and other important tests and services that cannot be done during a virtual care (telehealth) visit.

Remember to:

• Make and keep appointments with your child’s doctor when your child is well, not just when your child is sick
• Talk to your child’s doctor about any concerns you have
