Magnolia Pediatrics does NOT use insurance for visits in the office. However, We DO TAKE HSA and FSA cards. We do NOT take the place of the insurance requirement based on the Affordable Health Care Act. It is highly recommended that you carry insurance for catastrophic events, prescriptions, labs, and imaging.However, you do not have to have a high premium plan anymore which will save you money in the long run and many prescriptions can go through GoodRx or similar cost savings programs. You can use an HSA to help with your monthly subscription. You will get a superbill every month that you may submit to your insurance as an out of network provider if you wish.

There will be times I will be unavailable due to my own personal life but this will be communicated in advance through the portal or email/text. If during that time you are in need of medical attention, I will try to recommend a backup if needed. For questions, many insurances have a triage or telehealth option available. Please always seek emergency care if appropriate and followup afterward

I believe the relationship between patient/parent and doctor must be based on trust. That being said I will never tell you that you must do something. I am pro-vaccine and will only be accepting patients who have their school vaccines (does not include optional vaccines). If you choose to not vaccinate, we can discuss this but eventually, I would suggest finding a provider who has a better understanding of your goals.

Payment is made on a monthly basis with either a credit card or bank account number. There are discounts for multiple children and a cap for families at $250. You can have a superbill and submit to your insurance as an Out of Network provider to use a claim. You may use HSA or FSA as a way to pay for your monthly fees.

This is made on a case by case basis, based on how busy the clinic day is and what the visit is for. Please inquire. Price will vary.

Age newborn to 18 year old (through senior year of high school). Keep in mind that once your child turns 18 they are legally responsibe for their health. They can fill out a form to allow you, as a parent, acces to their health information.

Absolutely! HSA and FSAs can be used for your monthly subscriptions to the practice.Please let me know that this is the route you will be taking.

It often seems with older children that parents find themselves at the pediatricans less often than with newborns and toddlers. However, there are many things that come up in adolescence and the preteen years that bring children in more often than you may think. Think back on the past year and how often you might have wanted peace of mind with a quick strep swab or a peek in the ears, or were worried about sinus infections, nd all of this occurring with looming high school or travel sports game. Then there is the behavioral questions, and hormonal changes that come about as children get older. There are many benefits to this model at all ages, not just the very young.

Almost everything is included. There are no extra fees for swabs, including strep, flu, rsv, covid; also urine dips, mono tests, vision, development are all part of your monthly fee. However, if a culture (urine or strep), blood work, imaging, a specialist, stitches, or a fracture treatment, this is not part of the monthly cost. I have arranged a lab fee to give you the best cash price but using insurance is appropriate as well. Medications are also a non covered entity. You again may use your insurance or use GoodRx or another cost savings program.

There is 20% discount for the second child and immediate family member max of $250. If you cannot afford the current rate per child, please reach out to me, and I will work with you on what is best for your family. I can offer scholarships if needed.

Unfortunately, at this time I cannot have patients who are Medicaid because in order to send in medications I would have to be a Medicaid ordering provider. My apologies.

First of all, I have missed you! Second, all I need are your records from the office you have been, specifically your immunization records. Ask about a discount for being a former patient. Please email me to let me know you will be joining.

You can hit the enroll link and fill out the form. Let’s set up a meet and greet to go over the patient agreement. I look forward to meeting you. In the meantime, please work on getting a copy of our medical records from your previous doctor.
