When to Get a Check-up

Do you know when you need a check-up or other preventive health services? Our Preventive Health Guidelines give you and your family information about preventive health check-ups and services that you may need and when you should get them. These are basic guidelines that suggest check-ups for healthy children and adults with no known health problems. They should not replace your provider's advice.

Do your part to stay healthy!

• Take a few moments to read the Guidelines to Keep You Healthy. You can also view the Immunization Schedules. The guides suggest checkups and shots to keep you healthy. Molina Healthcare covers health care services that prevent illness.
• Write down any questions you may have. Take these questions to your next check-up.
• Tell your provider about any health problems you or your children are having.
• Make sure you do not miss your appointments.
• If you miss your appointment, call your provider to reschedule right away.
