Insurance: We recommend you notify your health insurance carrier of the selection of your pediatrician in advance so as to insure maximum healthcare coverage. Most carriers require approximately 30 days advance notice of the birth of your child. Please be familiar with the stipulations of your policy. We accept most insurance companies. Please contact either your carrier or our office to see if we accept your plan. Please be familiar with your policy's benefits and limitations, like deductables and copayments. Take advantage of your carrier's customer service department. HUSKEY A AND B PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: YOUR INSURANCE DICTATES THAT YOU MUST DESIGNATE A PEDIATRICIAN BEFORE BEING SEEN; THEREFORE WE CANNOT SEE YOUR CHILD BEFORE YOU HAVE DESIGNATED US AS YOUR CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN. MEDICAID PARENTS: PLEASE CALL US WITH YOUR CHILD'S GRAY CARD INFORMATION BEFORE BEING SEEN. Copayments must be paid as stipulated by your contract with the insurance company (often at the time of service). You may pay by cash, check, or credit card. ****************

Consultations: From time to time, we may refer your child to a subspecialist. Please follow-up on your referral in a timely fashion as it is often difficult for us to remind you to make the appointment. The subspecialist visit is frequently covered differently by your carrier. If you have concerns about the validity of a particular referral, please do not hesitate to discuss your reservations.

Fees: Fees for services are based on the prevailing scale for the area. Though payment is expected at the time of service, we fully recognize problems and hardships that may arise. Please feel free to discuss them with us. In cases of divorced or separated parents, or in the event of a third party bringing the child to the office, please inform the person bringing the child to the office of these obligations. A copy of the receipt can be used to obtain reimbursement. A fee schedule is available upon request.
