Insurance

We are accepting new patients Newborn through 17 years old

Please have your card with you at the time of your visit. 

If we are not a provider for your insurance, if you are not insured or we do not file with your insurance company, you WILL be responsible for the entire charge at the time of service.

Why there may be a copayment due at the time of a Preventive Service Visit (Well Child Visit)

-The purpose of a Preventive visit is to review overall health, growth, and development and to identify risks and concerns that may get in the way of a child thriving. There are certain screenings we will do based on the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, discuss ways to promote development, answer questions regarding these subjects, and give any age-appropriate vaccines.

- The purpose of an Office visit is to discuss or get treated for a specific health concern or condition. You may have to pay for the visit as part of your deductible, copay and/or coinsurance, depending on your insurance plan.

Unfortunately, at this time, MOST insurance companies WILL NOT pay for an Office visit to occur at the same time that a Preventive visit is done. Therefore, if your child is found to be ill when they arrive for a Preventive visit, we will address the illness and re-schedule the Preventive visit. In addition, if your child is on any chronic medications, for ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, or Asthma for example, we require that they have a medication visit every 3 months, unless otherwise arranged with the physician. These visits need to occur separate from the annual Preventive visit. We will do our best to accommodate work and school schedules and utilize telemedicine when appropriate.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE INFORMATION WHEN YOU HAVE A NEWBORN

Congratulations on the wonderful new addition to your family!

New parents don’t always know, or they may forget during the busy, crazy, wonderful days that follow the birth of a child, that babies are not automatically covered on all insurance plans. So here’s some important information you’ll need to remember:

• Not all insurance policies offer automatic coverage for new babies. However, some plans do offer 30 or 31 days coverage until you can physically add the baby to your plan.
• We recommend that you check with your HR department or member services to see how your individual health plan works, and to begin the process of adding your baby to the insurance.
• If the newborn coverage period has ended, and the newborn is not showing active on an insurance policy, the baby’s parents will be responsible to pay out of pocket for the visit. This may also lead to a lapse in coverage for your child.
• If your child has been added to an HMO, Medicaid, or Medical Assistance plan, it’s imperative that you have Complete Care For Kids listed as the PCP.
