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 different from 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.
Any acute or ongoing medical problem discussed with the provider during a WCC visit, may incur additional office visit charges billed to your insurance. You may be required to pay a copay and/or charges may be applied to your out-of-pocket expense (i.e., deductible, co-insurance, etc.)
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 2025-26 must have a WCC ON or AFTER, August 25, 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 active insurance cards (ex. Primary and Secondary) must be presented at the time of your child(ren)’s WCC.
NEW (Starting, May 12, 2025): We will be collecting a $50 payment per patient account towards any insurance deductibles on the date of the visit. This is intended to reduce the frequency of balance billing and limit the number of large outstanding patient balances.
Self-Pay Policy:
- Uninsured: If your child(ren)’s 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.
NEW: Attention – Patients covered under commercial (private) insurances.
We are now partnered with VaxCare, a vaccine distributer for healthcare providers who is responsible for the billing of your vaccines. VaxCare is the provider of record, and all Eligibility of Benefits (EOB) sent to patients will reflect VaxCare Corp/Subsidiary Name/Medical Director Name depending upon how the insurance company wants to see the claims submitted for proper processing.
NEW (Starting, May 12, 2025) If vaccines are recommended by your provider during your visit, a written consent will be obtained prior to vaccine preparation and administration. If vaccines are declined once they are prepared for administration, you may be financially responsible for the vaccine cost.
If you have any questions, be sure to call our office during operating hours!
We look forward to serving your family!
Sincerely,
Greensboro Pediatricians
