Physical exams are typical scheduled at 1 week of age, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months ,15 months, 18 months, 2 years and then yearly after that. NO one will be denied immunization services because of inability to pay. If you need to cancel an appointment. Please contact the office at least 24 hours before you are to be seen, 48 hours for physicals. This will allow us to enable someone else to schedule an appointment during that time. If you have 2 broken appointments without 24-hour notice or 2 cancellations without a minimum of 24-hour notice, we reserve the right to dismiss you from the practice so that the rest of our patients can be better served. Please call 48 hours before for any prescription refill that you may need. Please supply us with the name of the medicine, dosage, quantity, instructions on use, the name of the pharmacy and number. The doctor may need to review this information prior to filling the medication. Also pending on the medication a follow-up appointment may be of benefit to the patient. Controlled substance prescription like Ritalin or Concerta cannot be called in to the pharmacy instead must be picked up or mailed home. School or camp forms will be filled out within 5 business days. Community Pediatrics of Andover has standard school forms that generally will be completed at the time of the visit. If there are special considerations, please let us know. Please have old records transfer to us including immunization record prior to setting up a physical exam. This will allow us to better assess your child and to provide any immunizations that are necessary so that the child is up to date and does not need to return for immunization that we could have provided at the physical. At times, older children may need to return just for a nursing visit to finish a series of immunization. Please present your insurance card at every visit. As a courtesy to our patients, we bill a number of insurance companies. If we bill your insurance company, you will responsible for any co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, or services not covered by your insurance company. If you have an insurance plan other than those whom we bill directly, or you are "self pay," payment is due and payable at the time services are rendered. All Co-payments are due at time of visit.
Thank You.
