HealthCheck
The HealthCheck Program is
available to members under
the age of 21. The HealthCheck
program covers complete health checkups. These
checkups are very important for children’s health. Your
child may look and feel well, yet may have a health
problem. Your provider wants to see your children for
regular checkups, not just when they are sick.
The HealthCheck program has three purposes:
To find and treat children’s health problems early
for those under age 21
To let you know about the special health services
your child can receive
To make your children (under 21) eligible for
some health care not otherwise covered
The HealthCheck program covers the care for any health
problems found during the checkup including medical
care, eye care and dental care. The HealthCheck
checkup includes:
A health and developmental history
Physical exam
Hearing and vision test
Dental screening
Blood and urine lab tests (including blood lead
level testing when needed)
Complete immunizations (shots)
Transportation for a HealthCheck visit is handled
through the Department’s transportation manager.
Please call (866) 907-1493 or TTY (800) 855-2880 to
schedule a ride to a HealthCheck appointment.
Ask your child’s PCP when your child should have his/
her next HealthCheck exam or call our Customer Care
Center at (800) 279-1301 for more information.
Transportation
Non-emergency medical transportation can include
public transportation such as a city bus, rides in
specialized medical vehicles (SMV), or rides in
other types of vehicles depending on a member’s
medical and transportation needs. Non-emergency
transportation is handled through the Department’s
transportation manager. Please call (866) 907-1493 or
TTY (800) 855-2880 to schedule a ride to your health
care appointment.
Ambulance
DHP will cover ambulance transportation for emergency
care. We may also cover this service at other times,
but you must have approval for all non-emergency
ambulance trips. Call the Customer Care Center at
(800) 279-1301 for approval. See Emergency Care on
pages three and four.
If You Move
If you are planning to move or have moved to a
different county, contact your Income Maintenance
Consortia.
If you move out of DHP’s service area, call an HMO
Enrollment Specialist at (800) 291-2002. DHP will
only provide emergency care if you move out of our
service area. An Enrollment Specialist will help you
choose an HMO that serves your area.
HMO Exemptions
An HMO exemption means you are not required to
join an HMO to receive your health care benefits.
Most exemptions are granted for only a short period
of time so you can complete a course of treatment
before you are enrolled in an HMO. If you think you
need an exemption from HMO enrollment, call the
HMO Enrollment Specialist at (800) 291-2002 for
more information.
