Frequently asked questions

Should I come early if I am a new patient?

Please come 10–15 minutes early to fill out forms and make the best use of the appointment.

What if I am going to be late for my appointment?

Please call our office if you are going to be late or cannot keep your appointment. We can assist you with rescheduling.

Will I get a reminder call about well visit appointments?

Yes, we call you about upcoming appointments. Please let us know if your phone number changes.

Do I need to bring my insurance card to every visit?

Yes, your insurance card is needed to keep your account up-to-date and accurate.

Will there be co-pay at every visit?

Yes. You should check with your insurance company regarding co-pays on routine “well visits.”

How do I know what is covered under my insurance plan?

Most insurance plans provide that information on their website or through the customer service phone number located on the back of your ID card.

What do I need to bring for my first visit with my newborn?

Please fill out the new patient forms and bring them to your first visit

What if I do not have my newborn’s insurance card yet?

Make sure you have informed your insurance company of the baby’s birth.

What should I do about my insurance if my child is admitted to the hospital?

You should contact your insurance company within 24 hours.

Will I need a referral if the doctor sends my child for tests or to see a specialist?

Each insurance policy has different requirements. Call your insurance company for more information.

Why is it important for a specific provider from Newton Pediatrics to be listed as my primary care physician (PCP)?

If your insurance requires a PCP and one of our providers is not listed, this may result in the charges being denied by your insurance. You will then be responsible for all dates of service.
