What is Follow-Up Care?

“Follow-Up Care” is medically necessary follow-up visits that occur while your child is outside Keystone’s service area. Follow-up care:

  • is provided only for urgent ongoing treatment of an illness or injury that originates while your child is in Keystone’s service area. An example is dialysis.
  • must be preapproved by your child’s primary care physician prior to traveling.

This service is available for temporary absences (less than 90 consecutive days) from Keystone’s service area.
