1) A Quick Reminder....Please remember to get all forms
completed at your child's physical or routine care
appointment. All forms completed after the visit are subject
to a $5.00 completion fee. Any forms completed while in the
office at the visit are FREE.
2) We now utilize KIDS TIME PEDIATRICS as our FIRST
choice for AFTER HOURS VISITS. KIDS TIME PEDIATRICS is
an urgent care facility, owned and operated by local
pediatricians ...ours included! This after-hours office can do
the same services we provide in our office. It is NOT an
emergency room so your office copay will apply to these
visits. We do still utilize CHOA for any life threatening
illnesses or broken bones. Please visit their website for
more information. www.kidstimepeds.com
3) Our current policy regarding MEDICAL NOTES for school
or work absences is that the child must be seen in our office.
Due to on going demands by schools in our area, we may
also be required to state a "return to" date. Any extensions
on that date will also require a visit to the office. Please
take note of what your school requires and how often so
that any problems may be avoided. You can find this
information at your county's school system website.
4) We no longer utilize the Children's Healthcare Nurse
Advice Line as a part of our AFTER HOURS PHONE CARE.
Our doctors handle all phone calls after hours. Additionally,
we also prefer to use KIDS TIME PEDIATRICS for any
after-hour sick visits instead of another urgent care facility.
If you have a question that does not require our doctor's
medical opinion, you may contact anyone of your choice
and no report is necessary for our office.
5) We now require you to show your INSURANCE CARD and
pay your copay at the beginning of each visit. Please make
sure to have that information available and current.
