Adolescent Well-Care Visits

This measure describes the percentage of members ages 12 through 18 who were continuously enrolled in the plan during 2005, and received at least one comprehensive well-care visit with a primary care practitioner during the year.

Detection of changes in physical, social, and emotional health status during this transitional period in a child's life is of great importance. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics stress the need for yearly visits for this population.

Note: LA Care Health Plan is a new plan participating in the Healthy Families Program and data is not available.
