We are proud to announce that effective March 1, 2023, our practice is becoming an affiliate clinic of Children’s Mercy Hospital, one of the nation’s top hospitals dedicated to pediatric care and research. This affiliation will expand our access to a vast network of pediatric specialists and keep us at the forefront of clinical research, ensuring your children receive the most advanced, evidence-based preventative and diagnostic care available. With all of the changes in health care, it has become necessary for us to evaluate and adjust our fees to align with the allowable benefits provided by insurance payers. You may see this reflected in future explanation of benefit (EOB) statements from your insurance company and statements from our office. While it is not our intention to raise costs for our patients’ families, we realize that the impact of increasing our fees may trickle down to you due to the prevalence of higher deductible insurance plans or plans that impose higher cost-sharing obligations or additional out-of-pocket costs for care. Should you encounter a financial hardship related to a medical bill from us, contact our billing department at (913) 735-2829. Our billing staff is always here to help you understand your insurance plan’s benefits and provide flexible payment options if needed.
We are delighted to share the news of these exciting developments with you and your family, and we are confident these improvements to our practice will enhance our ability to care for your children. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact our office manager at (913) 345-9400.
