Well-child visits are regular medical check-ups that are important for all children from birth to age 21. The visits may also include immunizations. Well-child visits make sure your child is growing up healthy. If the doctor finds a problem, he or she will watch it and treat it early. First Choice wants parents to make sure their children are getting their regular medical checkups. First Choice rewards you when you take your child to the doctor. Call Member Services for details.
