We base our care on each patient’s medical history and needs, providing a
more complete and positive outcome on the health and well being of every
patient.
For your first visit to our office:
• Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to allow for chart
processing.
• It is the patients responsibility to verify that they have insurance coverage
for the office visit and lab tests. You should also check which lab will be
covered with your insurance.
• Bring your insurance card(s) and a photo identification of a responsible
adult (we are required to make a copy)
• Obtain an insurance referral from your child’s PCP (Primary Care
Physician), if required. If you do not have a referral, you will be held responsible
for providing one to us in a timely manner or you will be billed
• Request a consult referral from your child’s PCP, if appropriate
• Bring copies of any past medical information on your child you would like
us to keep in the chart
Location:
Our office is located at 1310 S. Main Street, 2nd Floor, Ann Arbor, MI in the
Stadium Commons building. We have free covered parking directly under the
building off Main Street.
Office Hours:
Integrative Pediatrics office hours are Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
Insurance and Payment Information:
Integrative Pediatrics accepts many insurance plans and bills your insurance
company as a courtesy for patients. You are responsible for any co-payments
at the time of service. You will also be responsible for charges that are not
covered by your insurance. For those with financial hardship, our staff will
work with you to set up a payment plan.
Canceling Or Rescheduling An Appointment:
We realize that your time is valuable and hope that you realize the time of our
doctor and staff is valuable too.
If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment at Integrative Pediatrics,
we ask that you provide us notification more than 1 business day in advance so
that we may provide an opportunity for another patient to seek treatment.
Missed appointments may incur a “missed appointment” fee of $50.
Prescriptions And Refills:
It is important to monitor our patient’s progress and use of medications.
Therefore, we will not refill a prescription for a patient who has not been seen in
the office in the past 3 months. We require 72 hour notice for prescription
refills. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding regarding our
prescription policies.
Lab Results Policy:
As you know, many of the children that we care for at Integrative Pediatrics are
extremely complicated. Many of the lab tests that we do are quite complicated
and their interpretation needs to be done in the context of the child's history,
symptoms and therapies.
We recognize that many parents like to keep detailed records of their children's
results. Therefore, we utilize Quest Diagnostics for our standard tests because
they will send test results directly to your home. We have found that often in
order to understand the results we need to sit down with the records and take
an interval history and in many cases we may order medications.
Whenever possible, an office visit to discuss your child's progress and plans is
probably the best choice. But if needed, we offer the option of a telephone
consultation. The cost of the telephone consultations are: 5 – 10 minutes $30,
11-20 minutes $60, 21 – 31 minutes $90. We will provide you with a receipt with a
billable code. Many insurance companies will reimburse such contacts.
We will be able to answer brief questions without an appointment. However,
anything that will requires medical record review will need to be addressed
more methodically either at a visit or telephone consultation.
For specialty labs, such as those sent to Genova, Metametrix, or Great Plains,
we will send results to you via e-mail if desired.
Supplements:
The doctor often recommends the use of nutritional supplements as a part of
the treatment regimen for patients. Many research studies, as well as immense
amounts of clinical data, show nutritional supplements to be safer, and more
effective, than drugs.
At your visit, we will explain what the supplements are and possible benefits.
We have supplements available in our office for purchase. The prices of these
supplements range from $12 - $60 and is payable at the time of service.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at (734) 786-3833.
Thank you for choosing Integrative Pediatrics for your child’s health care.
