Metro Pediatrics, P.C. is committed to offering affordable health care. To help control costs, we request payment at the time services are rendered for all co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance. For your convenience, we accept VISA, Discover, American Express, MasterCard, debit cards, and checks.

We participate in most HMOs, PPOs, and insurance plans such as Medicaid, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Health Choice, Aetna, Viva, Healthsprings, TriCare, and a host of other plans. Our experienced staff can assist you with insurance questions and will file claim forms for participating patients.

Insurance cards will need to be seen at the start of every visit. While this may seem inconvenient, it is important for us to maintain correct billing information on each patient. Medicaid mandates that you also present your card on each visit to verify eligibility.

Patients are required by contract to pay the co-pay amount at every visit. We are likewise obligated to collect it. To allow you to leave immediately following your visit, we will ask for your co-pay at registration before your visit.

In all insurances except the HMOs, PPOs, and Medicaid for which we have contracted coverage, you are ultimately responsible for your medical bills. Please be assured that any release of medical information to attorneys and insurance companies require your prior authorization. There is a charge for filling out statements and copying records for these entities.
