-Well Visits / Wellness visits / Well Adult visits / Well Child Checks / Preventative Health visits It is recommended that babies be seen by their healthcare provider at the following intervals:
2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo, 15 mo, 18 mo, 24 mo, 30 mo.
It is recommended that children and adults 3 years and up have a yearly wellness checkup and physical
exam. I recommend scheduling this appointment around the time of your birthday (so you can remember, every time you turn a year older, “Time for my yearly checkup!”
Failure to come in once a year for your wellness exam may result in your losing your status as an established patient of the clinic.
Wellness visits are to discuss preventative care only; visits where medical problems are discussed are considered regular office visits.
For adults and children 3years and older, health insurance will not cover more than one wellness visit per year. Any visits after the yearly wellness visit are billed as a regular office visit.
Wellness visits for children under 3 years old are covered every 2-6 months.
