All children are required to be tested for lead poisoning between the ages of 9 months and 35 months. This test is often included at well-child appointments at 12 months and 24 months. Lead testing is required to be covered by insurance.
If your child does not have insurance, call Community Health Services at 860-297-8600. Community Health Services is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and offers free or low-cost care based on individual circumstances.
