TENNderCare
Program:
TENNderCare is a
free program of
check-ups and health
care services for
children and teens
from birth to age 21
who are TennCare
eligible.
A
check-up includes: a
health history,
complete physical
exam, lab tests (as
appropriate),
vision/hearing
screening,
developmental and
behavioral
screenings (as
appropriate) and
advice on how to
keep your child
healthy. In
addition, dental and
behavioral health
services are
available.
Parents should call
their child's
primary care
provider and
schedule this
well-child screening
once a year. If the
child is under age
two, these check-ups
should be scheduled
more often,
according to
established
guidelines. These
screenings can also
be done at the local
Health Department.

directly with a
