Your provider at Greensboro Pediatricians recommends that all children 6 months and older get an annual flu vaccine. During the winter months, transmission of the flu is expected to rise. Making sure your child is up to date on vaccinations is very important.

A flu shot is quick, easy and covered by most insurances. Give us a call to schedule you child(ren)’s flu vaccine today 336-299-3183!

Vaccination is the best protection:

The flu vaccine is safe and effective. It reduces the risk of your child catching the flu and their risk of suffering serious complications. Children younger than 5 and those with certain chronic conditions may be at increased risk for complications.

Clearing up misconceptions:

The flu shot doesn’t give your child the flu. The shot can cause similar symptoms, but these are simply signs the immune system is working to build protection against the virus. The flu is not the same as a cold. The flu can cause serious issues, like pneumonia, difficulty breathing and/or dehydration. In rare cases, the flu can be deadly. Children 6 months to 8 years old receiving a flu vaccine for the first time will need two doses to be considered fully vaccinated. Each shot is given a month apart.

Stay safe and healthy,
Greensboro Pediatricians

Let’s see how your teen is doing!

Teenagers mature, have new responsibilities and decision-making capacity. A well visit is a chance for your teen and provider to check in on your teen’s physical, social, and behavioral health.

Checking in on your teen’s health, well visits are a great opportunity to:

• Review overall health
• Complete any needed paperwork for sports and other activities
• Help with making healthy choices
• Discuss any questions or concerns your teen may have.

Please note, regarding specific health concerns, medical condition, or required medications, the visit may be considered both a well visit and an office visit; a copay may be charged.

Before you schedule an appointment, please make sure that it’s been 365 days since your teen’s last well visit. While virtually all insurance plans cover well visits, some plans may require that you wait a certain amount of time between visits. In addition, insurance companies may charge a fee for development and behavioral assessments. We believe these are extremely important for early identification and treatment.

If you are unable to remember the date of the last well visit, please call us at (336)299-3183 and we can help.

Thank you for trusting us with your teen’s care. We’re here to support you and your family. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Greensboro Pediatricians Providers

Greetings Greensboro Pediatricians Families,

We hope you are having a great year thus far. The new school year is right around the corner, and we recommend calling our office to schedule your child(ren)’s yearly Well Child Check (WCC).

If you have any forms that need to be completed (ex. Sports/Kindergarten/Daycare/etc.) for this upcoming school year, please check with our scheduling team to confirm that your child(ren) are up to date with their WCC and feel free to bring your forms in during the checkup visit (Please have the parent section filled out before your appointment).

Sports Physicals are not the same as Well Visits.
Health forms needed for sports, camps, school enrollment, etc., can be completed based on the annual well visit performed within the past 12 months.

Friendly reminders:

Forms: Forms that are completed outside of checkup visits have a Form Fee per patient of $10 for daycare/school forms and $25 for FMLA forms. Please allow 2-5 business days for forms to be completed by our providers. Due to high demand, we are unable to accommodate urgent/time sensitive form requests. Valid state or government issued photo ID may be required at the time of pick up.

***Incoming Kindergarteners attending Guilford County Schools for the Academic Year 2024-25 must have a WCC ON or AFTER, August 6, 2024, for form completion. ***

Missed Appointment Policy: While scheduling appointments can be difficult, we do our very best to see our patients when they need to be seen. Greensboro Pediatricians requests at least 24-hour notice to reschedule or cancel an appointment. If three appointments are missed without adequate notification [New Patients_ 2 Consecutive Missed Appointments], this may result in termination of care for your child and siblings. A “No Show” fee will be assessed if an appointment is not cancelled within the timeframe allotted.

No Show Policy

• Sick Visit Fee: $25 per child
• Well Check Visit Fee: $50 per child
• After 5pm and/or Weekend Visit Fee: $30 per child

Insurance: As a courtesy to our patients, Greensboro Pediatricians will file claims to any insurance carrier with whom we are participating providers. All insurance cards (ex. Primary and Secondary) must be presented at the time of your child(ren)’s WCC.

Self-Pay Policy:

• Uninsured: If your child(ren) is uninsured, payment for self-pay (uninsured) rate for services is required at the time of service.
• Choosing not to use available medical insurance for visit coverage: Payment in full will need to be made upon checking out on the date of service; Please note, vaccines are not subject to discount
  *If medical insurance is not verified as active on the date of service, you will be considered a self-pay patient.

Vaccination Policy: Greensboro Pediatricians only follows the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Families that choose not to receive all the state required vaccines within 6 months of their scheduled times, will be asked to find another health care provider.

If you have any questions, be sure to call our office during operating hours!

We look forward to serving your family!

Sincerely,

Greensboro Pediatricians
