Health Check – EPSDT

Get a Health Check exam for your children. Health Check is a preventive health program for members under the age of 21. The Health Check program covers complete health checkups. Checkups are important for your children’s health. Your children may look and feel well but still have a health problem. Your doctor wants to see your children for regular checkups, not just when they are sick.

The Health Check program helps find and treat children’s health problems early. Health Check covers medical, eye and dental problems.

The Health Check checkup includes:

  • Growth status
  • Ears and eyes
  • Diet
  • Shot records
  • Test records

Children age six months and older will be referred to a dentist. We will help you choose your dentist and schedule visits.

Ask your child’s PCP when your child should have their next Health Check exam. Call a Health Check Coordinator at (800) 704-1484 for more information. Your Peach State Health Check Coordinator will help you learn about exams, screening and shots.
