Transferring Care to Briarvista Pediatrics
For children 2 years and older, we require an “establishment of care” visit prior to being seen for both well-child care or sick visits. This visit allows our doctors to review the records and medical, surgical, and social history with you. It also allows us to review office policies with you. Please note that this visit is not always covered by insurance.
Vaccine records are required prior to scheduling your child’s first visit, in addition to the completion of registration forms and CHADIS questionnaires.
We are NOT accepting new patients older than 12y, with some exceptions for siblings and those moving from out-of-state.
Is your child sick?
If registration forms and medical records have been received, and your child has already been seen to establish care, our regular same-day sick policies will apply.
Check-up time?
Schedule your child’s next well-child care visit with us per our care guidelines. Please note, insurance plans differ as to whether they will cover a check-up for kids older than three years every calendar year or every 365 days. It’s up to you to know when your child is due for a check-up and when your insurance will cover it. If a visit comes back as non-covered, you will be responsible for full payment.
Our checkup schedule: newborn, 1m, 2m, 4m, 6m, 9m, 12m, 15m, 18m, 2yo, 2.5yo, 3yo, then annually.
Next Steps
- Please review our vaccine policy and financial policy.
- Here you will find our new patient forms. Feel free to print and complete them at home to save time at your first visit.
- Complete a medical record release form and submit it to your previous pediatrician’s office. This is especially important for children with any significant past medical problems, including but not limited to ADHD, asthma, behavioral or psychiatric concerns, growth delays, any specialist visits, abnormal labs, etc.
- Call your insurance company to verify that our doctors are listed, and to change your child’s Primary Care Provider (PCP) to us if necessary. See our list of contracted insurance plans; if your plan is not on that list, we are always happy to see you out-of-network or on a cash-pay basis.
- If moving from out of state, please fax our office your child’s immunization records as soon as you can. Please note, we will require this prior to scheduling a first visit.
- Contact the office to schedule your first visit with us!
