Vaccines
At Roslindale Pediatrics, we are dedicated to the health and safety of all our patients. Due to this, it is required that all patients coming to our office receive vaccinations on a schedule that is recommended by the CDC and the AAP. This will allow patients who cannot receive a vaccine due to age or a medical condition to also feel safe coming into our practice.
Please review these useful links from the CDC and from CHOP to see vaccine guidelines and find answers to questions you may have. If you still have any questions, please feel free to call us so we can discuss them with you.
Late Policy
Late Cancellation and No Show Policy
Forms
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early for your appointment.
If you know you will be late for an appointment, please call us in advance to see if we can try to still fit you in. You may be asked to reschedule to another time or another day.
If you arrive more than 10 minutes late to an appointment, you may be asked to reschedule to another time or another day.
At Roslindale Pediatrics, we pride ourselves on excellent patient access and scheduling availability, which is among the best in the region. Unfortunately, we have recently had many patient no-shows and last-minute cancellations, which disrupt our scheduling and prevent other patients from receiving timely care. To ensure the smooth operation of our practice and to provide the best service to all our patients, we ask that you please call at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to make your appointment. This will allow us the opportunity to offer the time to another patient who may be in need of medical care.
At your child’s yearly physical you will receive a health form that includes their full immunization list. This is valid for one year. This form can be used in place of any school, camp, daycare or sports health form. This is provided to you as a courtesy, we can print a copy here and you have access to it on the patient portal. Please allow up to 5 business days to prepare your forms after they are dropped off.
We can also create school medication administration forms and action plans for things such as asthma and allergies. If these were not created at your child’s well visit, please give us a call so we can prepare them for you.
Parking
We have a small parking lot at our office, and there is street parking for 2 hours along Centre Street, and unlimited parking along LaGrange Street, which is a short walking distance. All of these options are free. The Bus also stops in front of our office.
Billing Information
Payments for office services are due at the time of your office visit. We gladly accept cash, personal checks as well as credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express).
The physicians at our office belong to several HMO’s ( Health Maintenance Organizations) and PPO’s ( Preferred Provider Organizations) including:
Most of these plans require patients to pay a co-payment at the time of the office visit. Our office does the rest of the billing for these insurance companies.
In order for your insurance company to pay for your new baby’s office visits, you must notify them within 30 days of your baby’s birth. Please be sure to call them as soon as you are home from the hospital!
Our office staff is always happy to answer any billing questions you may have and will try to solve any problems that may arise.
