Prescription Refill
Please request refills only during office hours when your child’s chart is available. For refills, please leave the name of medication, dosage, pharmacy number and a number where you can be reached with any questions.
Hospital Care
Your newborn is seen daily at W & I Hospital. If your older child’s medical condition requires admission, a hospitalist at Hasbro Children’s Hospital will manage your child's care while inpatient. Your pediatrician will be in contact with the hospitalist during your child's stay regarding your child's medical care.
Referral Network
If it is determined that your child needs a consultation, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist. A written referral may be necessary from our office in advance. It is your responsibility to know your health care plan requirements.
Insurance
We will bill most insurance carriers if the proper information is provided to us. We ask that you provide information regarding your medical insurance at your first office visit and notify us of any changes in your health coverage as soon as possible. Co-payments are due at the time of visit. A billing fee of $10.00 will be added to your account if you do not pay your copay at time of service. You must notify your insurance company with any changes in your Primary Care Physician.
Financial Arrangements
Monthly budget plans can be arranged with our Billing Manager. We are committed to provide you with the best possible care. Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and the insurance company. We will make every effort to work within the constraints of your coverage, as long as there is no compromise to your child’s medical care.
Billing Inquiries
