• Emergency Care
  Doctor’s office visits are the most cost effective and keep your child’s care in her/his medical home. After-hours, if you cannot wait until the doctor’s office opens, go to urgent care.
• Immunizations
  Regardless of our participation with your insurance carrier, we must verify all Well Care benefits and immunization coverage. This will be done by us prior to your appointment when possible. New patients, and those with new insurance coverage, will have eligibility and benefits verified when they check out. We apologize for the delay this may cause, but we have found it to be necessary due to the variations in well and sick care benefits. We must ask for payment in full at time of service where insurance benefits are not available for services rendered or when verification of benefits is not possible, i.e., evenings, weekends, holidays.
