Child and Teen Checkups

How do I know
if my child is eligible?

Child and Teen Checkups services are for young people who receive healthcare benefits through Medical Assistance, including independent teens and young adults up to age 21, as well as young parents.

If you already have a clinic, call to schedule your free annual checkup.

If you don’t have a clinic yet, let’s start by figuring out what kind of healthcare coverage you have. Which of the below either sounds familiar or fits you?
