Spotlight on Well-Child Visits<\/h3>\n
Regular Pediatric Care visits play a vital role in your child\u2019s health and development. Newborns usually have more frequent visits, which gradually become less frequent as your child grows older. During these Pediatric Care Visits, your child\u2019s healthcare provider will provide the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Comprehensive physical exam<\/li>\n
- Screen for developmental milestones based on age<\/li>\n
- Administer necessary immunizations to protect from preventable diseases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Ask Your Questions<\/h3>\n
Pediatric Care visits are a great time to ask any questions you may have about your child\u2019s health, growth, or development. Your pediatrician may also provide guidance on nutrition, sleep habits, and social and emotional development. Regular well-child visits allow for early detection of potential health concerns, ensuring prompt intervention when needed. They also set up a strong relationship with your child\u2019s healthcare provider, helping you and your child feel comfortable discussing health needs. Zion HealthShare encourages visits for children at the following ages:<\/p>\n

\n12 Meses
\n15 Meses
\n18 Meses

\n36 Meses<\/p>\nAnnual Visits<\/h3>\n
At the age of 3, Pediatric Care visits typically transition to annual provider visits, to continue the important monitoring of your child\u2019s health. With Preventive Sharing, well-child and annual provider visits are eligible for sharing, sharing is limited to the services provided during the office visit only, up to $175. If you are struggling to find a provider that suits your needs, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to our Medical Advocacy Team. They can help you find reasonably priced medical providers for any of your upcoming medical needs. You can contact them at 888-399-0017 or advocacy@zionhealthshare.org.<\/p>\n
Immunizations: Keeping Kids Safe and Healthy<\/h3>\n
Immunizations are a shield, that\u2019s true, but imagine them like a powerful umbrella protecting your child from a downpour of nasty illnesses. Think of each raindrop as a different disease- measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, polio, chickenpox and more. Immunizations work by introducing a weakened or inactive form of these \u201craindrops\u201d to your child\u2019s body. Their body learns to recognize and fight off these weakened versions, so if they meet a real storm later, they have the tools to stay dry- or in this case, healthy!<\/p>\n
While your child\u2019s umbrella (immunizations) might not completely prevent every single raindrop (illness), it significantly reduces the chances of getting drenched or seriously sick. The best part? Widespread immunization creates a powerful community shield. Even those who can\u2019t receive immunizations due to medical challenges are shielded by the reduced number of diseases circulating.<\/p>\n
Build Your Child\u2019s Shield<\/h3>\n
Building your child\u2019s shield against illness goes hand-in-hand with well-child visits. If you and your family want to participate in immunizations, Zion HealthShare is here to support you. This helpful chart outlines the recommended child and youth immunization schedule, conveniently aligned with well-child and annual provider visits. It is important to note that sharing is limited to the immunizations listed in the chart and is subject to pricing based on the CDC price list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
