Well Visit
A clear winner
Like a sports physical, an annual well visit can check your growing teen's physical development. But it also checks their mental, social and emotional well-being, giving you more knowledge and confidence about their health.
What to expect
While annual well visits may vary based on your teen's age and location, most providers will check for specific milestones and look for underlying health issues.
Annual well visit typically includes:
- Checking weight, height, growth, vision, hearing and blood pressure
- Performing physical exam to check skin, heart, lungs, spine and puberty development
- Asking teen about eating, sleeping and exercise habits
- Updating immunizations
- Ordering tests based on exam or teen's/family's health history
- Opportunity for you or your teen to ask questions

Schedule a visit
If your teen doesn't already have a regular provider, you can find one on your insurance or healthcare network's website. Well visits are usually no or low cost with insurance.
