If you are not sure if your insurance company covers this fee, please do not hesitate to ask at the time of your visit.įor after hours care, they’re two options for getting a message to us: This fee will not be filed to your insurance company. If your insurance company does not cover weekend after hours fees, there is a $20 surcharge that you will be responsible for at the time of the visit. For that reason, our office is open approximately 360 days per year. We want your child to receive consistent, high-quality, non-fragmented, continuous care. We recommend that you DO NOT take your child to any other after-hours clinic, urgent care center, or retail based clinic. Please do not walk in without an appointment as we will have to work you in after those who have called and scheduled an appointment. The clinic hours are designed to keep you from having to go to an emergency department over the weekend if it can be avoided. We do have weekend clinic appointments available for minor emergencies (Saturday 9:00 a.m.-11:00a.m & Sunday 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.). Missed appointments without proper notice will result in a significant missed appointment fee, depending upon the appointment type missed. However, if you need to change an appointment, a 24-hour notice is requested. We appreciate your promptness and consideration in arriving at your scheduled time. We reserve a dedicated amount of time for each visit, and reserve large blocks of time for complex issues or annual check-ups (often as much as 30 minutes). We carefully arrange our schedule in an effort to efficiently optimize your time here. We ask that you show the same respect for our time. Our appointments are scheduled to respect your time. We try to accommodate ourselves to your needs and preferences. So, give us a call before that birthday comes rolling around again and let us schedule you in advance. It is often difficult for us to schedule older child check-ups on short notice. That means it is all the more important that you call in advance for physical exams – especially if your children participate in sports or camps that will require physicals. The amount of time needed for check-ups increases as your children get older and are seen less frequently.
To keep your wait time shorter please be sure to call for an appointment as your sick baby will be more comfortable waiting at home than in our office.īecause we hold time each day to see sick children your routine visits must sometimes be scheduled further in advance. If you walk-in with a sick child we will not turn you away, but we will have to fit you in around those who have scheduled appointments.
All visits are by appointment including our weekend urgent clinics. To ensure that your child can be seen when sick, we hold time for “same day” appointments.
