• Insurance is billed first.
• You are responsible for copays, deductibles, and coinsurance assigned by your plan.

Medicaid

• Medicaid is billed directly.
• No card on file is required as a condition of care.
• No cancellation or no-show fees are charged.
• We ask that families cancel as early as possible so another child can use that visit time.

Telehealth

• Telehealth works well for many common concerns.
• A reliable device and internet connection are needed.
• Some conditions require an in-home or emergency evaluation.
