What are well child check ups?
Are well child checkups necessary? Will my healthcare plan cover these well child checkups, or is it out of pocket?

Well-child checkups are necessary physical exams administered by your child’s pediatrician. The visits are scheduled two to three days after the child is born, then at your child’s one month, two month, three month, six month, nine month and one year birthdays.
Well-child checkups involve measuring the baby’s height and weight to assess his growth and development, hearing, vision, reflexes and vital signs are checked, immunization shots are given, and cognitive development and nutrition are discussed. Parents may also discuss separate issues affecting the child, such as why his is a picky eater and toilet training techniques.
Most healthcare plans cover all well-child checkups, while others might only cover a set amount and require a copay. Always check with your insurance company before a scheduled visit.
