About well-child checkups
Well-child visits are no-cost, routine checkups with your child’s doctor that support your child’s health and you as a parent. These visits help the doctor monitor your child’s health, growth, and development so they can have the best chance of a healthy future.
Stay on track with these checkups with our Well-Child Checkup Schedule ➔
How much do well-child checkups cost?
Your cost is $0. As a CHPW Apple Health member, and with most health plans, you pay nothing for well-child visits and other types of preventive care when you see an in-network provider.
How many checkups do newborns get?
Most babies have at least 8 checkups in their first 18 months. A newborn’s first well-child checkup should happen at 1 week and then at months 1, 2 , 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. After 3 years of age, well-child checkups are only once per year.
What happens at a well-child checkup?
At each well-child visit, your child’s doctor will:
- Check how they are growing and developing.
- Offer recommended immunizations and screenings.
- Give guidance on the next stage for your child or teen, and what to expect.
- Ask questions about health history and day-to-day life.
- Talk about your concerns and answer your questions.
For newborns and toddlers, your child’s doctor may also ask about different things they are doing at home, to help track their development.
To learn more about what to expect at well-child checkups by age and milestones, explore the American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Website.
Vaccines and Immunizations
Immunizations help protect your little ones, you, and your community from diseases that can cause serious illness.
During your well-child visits, your child’s doctor will give you details about what each immunization guards against and any side effects.
“Vaccines have resulted in major improvements in the health of children in just one generation. Please discuss vaccine-preventable illnesses with your child’s provider. It’s recommended that vaccines be given on schedule, but if any vaccines are missed at the scheduled visit, they can be made up at the next visit.”
– CHPW’s Dr. LuAnn
In Washington State, children entering school, childcare, or other early learning programs are required to have certain immunizations before they can start.
For the most up-to-date information about recommended vaccines, visit the Washington State Department of Health’s Immunizations and Vaccines.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find my child’s CHPW member ID number?
Your child’s CHPW member ID will be different than yours, even if you have a CHPW health plan too. They will have their own CHPW member ID card and number. This number is not the same as your ProviderOne ID.
You can find their CHPW member ID number a few places:
- Child’s physical CHPW member ID card. It’s labeled “ID”.
- myCHPW member portal. If you already created an account for your child’s CHPW Apple Health plan, you can sign in to and see it there.
- CHPW Customer Service can also help you get it. Call 1-800-440-1561 (TTY: 711) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Tip: When entering your child’s ID number in the claim rewards form, you will need to include 10 digits with no spaces. In the form, under CHPW Member ID Number, include (or add) 01 at the end.
Can I get help with transportation to and from well-child visits?
Yes. Apple Health covers nonemergency medical transportation to and from covered services, including well-child checkups, if you’re eligible.
