plan to determine how to access THSteps

checkups.

Treatment (If non PCP) - Referral may be

required through PCP for evaluation and/or

management of conditions identified during a

THSteps medical checkup.

THSteps Checkup Scheduling

Checkups should be scheduled based on

the ages indicated on the THSteps
