What is C & TC?
C&TC is a program that anyone 0-20 years of age on Medical Assistance (MA) in Minnesota is automatically enrolled in. We have staff available to help you find a provider if you don't have one. When you see the provider at the clinic, you will get a Child & Teen Checkups exam. It is just like an annual physical exam, but with a few additional screening pieces. Child & Teen Checkup services include:
- Reminder letters for periodic well child exams.
- Linkage to medical, dental, and vision providers.
- Assistance making appointments for well child exams and follow-up appointments.
- Assistance with transportation to well child exams.
- Education to parents on the importance of well child exams.
- Coordination with family home visitors, Head Start, social workers, and WIC.
An appointment includes:
- Information about physical and mental health.
- Complete head-to-toe physical exam.
- Immunizations, when needed.
- Hearing check.
- Vision check.
- Blood Lead/Lab Tests (when needed).
- Checks on development and growth.
- Oral health screening and a referral to the dentist.
- Time to ask questions and get answers about your child's health, behavior and development.
- Time to discuss your child's thoughts, feelings and relationships.
