Routine Well Care
We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Bright Futures recommendations for pediatric preventive care, which include:
- Neonatal State Screen Blood Test = Checks for 40+ rare disorders that can cause brain damage or death if not treated early. Learn more at Oregon Health Authority Newborn Screening.
- Dental varnishing = Topical application of fluoride to help prevent tooth decay
- Developmental Screening = Checks whether your child’s development is typical for his or her age
- Dyslipidemia screen = Checks cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Hearing screening = Checks for hearing problems
- Hemoglobin = Checks for anemia
- Immunizations
- Lead level = Checks for lead exposure
- Reproductive health = Health education surrounding male/female reproductive systems
- Resilience
- STD/HIV Screen = Checks for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases
- Vision screening = Checks for vision problems
- Sports physicals = Oregon schools require a pre-participation exam and OSAA form before an athlete is cleared to play team sports. An annual well check also meets the requirements of a sports physical and is 100% covered by most insurance plans. We will complete the OSAA form if you’ve had a well check within the last year.
Some health plans do not cover screenings, even though they are the national standard of care. Call your insurance to check your benefits.
