HealthCheck for BadgerCare Plus Members

<

What is HealthCheck?

HealthCheck is a free preventive health checkup program for Dean Health Plan members up to age 21 who are eligible for Wisconsin Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus.

The HealthCheck program covers complete health checkups by your regular doctor. They are very important for children's health—your child may look and feel well, but may have a health problem.

Three reasons for your children to have a HealthCheck

• To find and treat children's health problems early
• To let you know about the special health services your child can receive
• To determine if your children are eligible for some health care services not otherwise covered

The HealthCheck program covers the care for any health problems found during the checkup, including medical care, eye care and dental care.

The exam includes:

• A health and developmental history
• Physical exam
• Hearing and vision test
• Growth and development check
• Dental screening
• Blood and urine lab tests when needed (including blood lead level testing)
• Complete immunizations when needed
