Upon Your Little One's Arrival
When your baby is born at a local hospital or birthing center, please inform your obstetrician, midwife, and the hospital staff that you have chosen Mt. Airy Pediatrics P.C. as your child's pediatric care provider. The hospital staff will notify our office of your baby's birth. Upon discharge, please contact our office within 24 hours to schedule your baby's first visit.
Explore our Parent Resources section for great tips on newborn care.
What to Bring to Your First Visit:
Medical Records For newborns, please bring any medical documents you received at discharge.
Proof of Insurance All patients must bring proof of medical insurance coverage and any copays or deductibles due. For a full list of insurance carriers we have contracted with, please click here.
Important Note About Insurance Coverage for Newborns While your baby's medical bills in the hospital are typically covered through a parent's plan, care in our office is not covered in the same way. It is crucial to notify your employer and/or health plan of your baby's arrival as soon as possible and before your first visit with us.
If you are covered by an HMO plan or a plan that requires selecting a PCP, request that your child be assigned to our office from their date of birth. This will help avoid any services not covered by your insurance.
For commercial insurances: Notify your employer and call your insurance plan's member services department.
For Medicaid/CHIP (if the insured parent is covered by Health Partners, or Aetna Better Health): Visit the PA HealthChoices website or call 1-800-440-3989.
Forms New patient families should be prepared to complete paperwork regarding family medical history, your child's medical history, and insurance information. Links to those forms are available at the end of this page if you prefer to complete them ahead of time.
What to Expect at Your First Visit On the day of your child's first visit, allow extra time to complete any forms and get acquainted with our staff and office. We look forward to meeting you and partnering with you to help your child grow well and stay healthy.
Vaccines at Mt. Airy Pediatrics P.C.
At Mt. Airy Pediatrics, P.C., we are strong advocates for the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. We recommend that all children and young adults adhere to the vaccination schedule published by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We recognize that the decision to vaccinate can be challenging for some parents. Our physicians and nurse practitioners are available to help you make an informed decision and address any concerns you may have about the recommended schedule.
If your child is due for immunizations at an upcoming appointment and you have concerns, please contact your pediatrician or nurse practitioner ahead of time via the Patient Portal. To respect the time of all our patients, we cannot extend appointments to discuss vaccine concerns. However, you can schedule a separate appointment for this purpose, which may require additional copays.
