Reminder about the Importance of Adulthood Yearly Wellness Visits
Date: June 9, 2025
Attention: Obstetric Care Providers and Primary Care Providers
Call to action: The purpose of this communication is to serve as a reminder about the importance of yearly wellness visits for young adults. Recommended topics for discussion during the visit include the following:
Medical/physical examinations, vaccinations, and testing.
Sexual health, screenings and prevention.
Transitioning into adult care.
Managing mental health issues.
Healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Resources: Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) has resources to assist with the conversation parents have with their teen on sexual health, even prior to them becoming sexually active.
Providers should refer applicable patients to our Young Adult landing page available here, www.texaschildrenshealthplan.org/youngadult for more information on transitioning to adulthood, wellness visits, sexual health, mental wellness, our Value-Added Services program, and other topics affecting the 16-21 year old population.
TCHP invites you to watch a video, Empowering Teen Health Journey, on the prevention, screening and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), available in both:
Next step for providers: Should STI testing occur, as a reminder, providers must report positive chlamydia results to the state of Texas. For information regarding Texas’ STD Reporting Requirements, go to https://www.dshs.texas.gov/hivstd/reporting.
TCHP invites you to watch a presentation on Promoting Women’s Health available here .
