Developmental screening

Well child checks help us keep track of important milestones in your child’s development. Some well visits will include one or more brief questionnaires. These screening tools will help us see whether your child is at risk for problems, now or in the future. With this information, we can make a plan on what to do next. You will also be able to talk to your child’s provider about any concerns you have.

  • ASQ – (Ages & Stages Questionnaire)
    9, 18, & 24-months. Identify risks for developmental delays and behavioral problems. These forms will be provided at your office appointment.

Most insurers will pay for this screening service. If your insurance denies this claim, you will be responsible for payment. A discount is available if paid on the date of service. Please be assured we are working with the American Academy of Pediatrics to make sure this service will become fully covered by all insurers and Medicaid. If you do receive a bill for developmental-behavioral screening after denial of the claim by your insurer, please understand how important this service is to your child’s well-being.
