Is it possible to have a well visit and a “sick visit” during the same appointment?

Yes. You may bring your child in for a scheduled well visit and they may have an additional medical problem that needs attention that is not routinely covered in a standard preventive medicine visit. For example, if during the well child visit the physician discusses in-depth chronic care diagnoses such as asthma, ADHD, developmental delays, or significant feeding problems, this requires an additional “sick visit” designation. Therefore, your insurance company may require additional co-pay.
