Pennsylvania’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) requires preventive care services, including annual well-child exams, annual developmental screenings for children ages 1 to 3 years, and lead blood screenings (see story in this issue) once between age 9 months and 2 years.
Highmark has launched a new monthly outreach to families of CHIP-enrolled children to assist them in obtaining these required preventive services. Our representatives will be contacting your office to schedule well-child exams, developmental screenings, and/or lead blood testing for your Highmark-enrolled CHIP patients.
These calls began in mid-July 2018 and will continue monthly.
