Late Policy:

 

Premier Pediatrics strongly enforces our 20 Minute Rule. If you arrive 20 minutes or more late for your Well Child Appointment you will be re-scheduled. The reason for this rule is to attempt to keep as close to schedule as possible. For example if you are late for an appointment, your time runs into the next scheduled appointment and so on. Other patients who have arrived on time will be forced to wait. Please be courteous to those who are scheduled after your visit.

 

Health Forms:

 

Physical exams for school or camp forms are valid for one year. If your child has not had a physical within one year, you will need to schedule one as soon as possible.

 

There is a $20 annual form fee. In return, the form will be ready in one week for pick-up or we can mail it to you. We DO NOT fax forms.

 

Referrals:

 

Some insurance require a referral to be done by the Primary Care Physician. If you are a member of such insurance, please contact the office at least 48 hours prior to appointment time. It is recommended that you do so when you make the appointment with the specialist to insure that no problems have occurred. Please have all necessary information available when calling, ie: appointment date, time, MD name and Provider Number. Premier Pediatrics will not be responsible for referrals called on or after date of appointment.

 

Laboratory tests:

 

On certain occasions it is necessary to test your child’s blood. Unfortunately, we do not perform this type of service in our office. You can obtain a copy of laboratories at the front desk (or click here) at the time of your visit or contact your insurance company for a local lab that accepts your insurance.
