No. A single visit is considered a fee-for-service urgent care or well visit and does not establish ongoing care with Care On Call Pediatrics.
To establish ongoing care with our providers, enrollment in a Care On Call Pediatrics membership is required.
While membership is not required to use our services, it may be a good option for families who plan to use house call visits as their primary source of ongoing pediatric care.
-
Your house call visit includes follow-up calls or text communication with a provider for up to 10 days after the visit for the same patient and the same condition evaluated during the original appointment. This allows us to monitor recovery and answer questions related to that specific concern.
Follow-up communication does not include evaluation or treatment of new symptoms, new conditions, or secondary illnesses. Any new or additional concerns will require a separate visit, either through an additional house call or a telehealth appointment.
If a second in-home visit is needed for the same illness, a follow-up house call may be scheduled at a reduced rate when booked within 30 days of the original visit.
-
If your baby required a NICU stay, experienced complications during delivery, or if there were significant complications during pregnancy, written medical clearance from a pediatrician is required before in-home newborn services can be provided, including the use of newborn package visits.
-
We offer a General Text Advice option for $45, which includes up to 10 minutes of provider time starting from when the provider responds. This service is intended for general, limited questions such as general medication dosing guidance or over-the-counter medication support.
General Text Advice does not include diagnosis, treatment plans, or patient-specific medical care and is not a substitute for a medical visit. Messages will be answered when a provider is available and responses are not guaranteed to be immediate.
If more detailed guidance is needed or if the conversation exceeds 10 minutes, you may upgrade to a telehealth visit for $75 for more comprehensive evaluation and care.
