Is it Exam Time for School Children Already?
Date:8/31/2009

more than half of children aged five to nine have had at least one cavity or filling, with 78 percent of 17-year-olds having experienced tooth decay.

Anthem provides coverage for most vaccines and exams. However, policyholders should confirm their specific benefits by calling the toll-free number listed on their insurance card.

"We encourage our members to make sure their children start the school year off on the right foot health-wise by getting the recommended immunizations, and having their eyes and teeth examined," said Dr. Meyer. "These simple exams are essential for keeping children and teens healthy, letting them focus on other events and activities during the school year."

Preventive health guidelines, vision and dental care tips, and a complete recommended immunization schedule are available for both members and non-members at www.anthem.com.
