Pay bill

Well-child visits are considered preventive care and are typically covered by insurance at no cost to you. However, if your child’s provider evaluates or treats a separate medical concern during the same visit, that additional service may be billed as a problem-focused or evaluation and management visit.

This additional service may be subject to copays, deductibles, or coinsurance depending on your insurance plan. This billing reflects the additional time, medical decision-making, and complexity involved in addressing concerns beyond the preventive exam. 

Preventive services typically covered as part of a well-child visit include: a conversation about your child’s medical history (including social and family history), height and weight screening, age-appropriate immunizations (based on your plan’s coverage), developmental and behavioral screenings, a routine physical examination, and preventive health counseling such as nutrition and safety guidance. 

Absolutely. If you prefer to keep your visit focused on the preventive exam only, you can let your child’s provider know. Any additional concerns can be scheduled as a separate follow-up appointment. However, many families find it more convenient to address everything in one visit rather than making an additional trip to the office. Your provider will always prioritize your child’s health and safety, so if a concern requires immediate attention, they will discuss this with you.
