Child and Teen Checkups
Regular Checkups are an important part of keeping your children healthy. Regular checkups help to find and treat health problems early and build healthy habits through childhood and beyond!
Children and teens, birth through age 20, who are eligible for Medical Assistance or a Medical Assistance Health Plan can get regular checkups for free. We call these Child and Teen Checkups.
Call your child’s regular doctor today and ask for a Child and Teen Checkup!
If you have questions or need help finding a doctor or dentist, call the Child and Teen Checkups Program at 763-324-4280 for assistance. If you need an interpreter please let us know and we can find one to assist you.
