| How
to get an appointment for your child at the Health
Center |
|
Any child can be seen at the Health Center, from
newborn to age 18. Generally, regular check-ups
and physical exams are scheduled about one week
in advance.
In addition to the Doctors on our staff, services
are provided by Nurse Practioners, Physician's
Assistants, and certified Nurse Screeners.
If your child is ill, he or she will be seen
as soon as possible, often the same day that you
call for the appointment.
Please call 250-5000 to set up an appointment.
|
| What
do you do if you don't have an appointment? |
|
Clients who come to the Health Center without
an appointment are directed to a telephone in
the lobby to access the scheduling center. If
an appointment is not available, the patient (or
parent) may speak to a Registered Nurse for advice.
|
| What
to bring with you |
|
When you bring your child in for an appointment
at the Health Center, make sure to bring any insurance
information you have including your Medicaid card
or other insurance card. If you do not have insurance,
please bring proof of your current income. This
could be a recent pay stub, bank statement, or
other document that shows your current household
income. This is to help us determine what portion
of the charges for your child's visit you may
be asked to pay.
Also be sure to bring a copy of the child's current
Immunization Record as well as any other Medical
Records you may have for the child. This will
help us provide the best possible care for your
child.
|
| How
are services paid for? |
|
Clinical services accept self-pay, Medicaid and
private insurance. Most services are provided
on a sliding fee scale and eligible participants
may receive care at no charge (fees are based
on family size and income).
