Membership: Join a Practice that is Personal and Caring

Instead of billing insurance companies for each visit, our members pay a monthly membership fee "directly" to us, which covers all visits and communication! This allows us to focus on patients and not paperwork.

Membership includes the following Services:

Included in your membership is an annual, comprehensive medical examination. We will review all your current medical issues, make sure that they have been properly evaluated, and formulate a plan to address any medical issues. She will also make sure you have had the approrpriate screening laboratory tests and imaging.
Includes acute visits for common complaints, such as cough, congestion, sore throat, aches, pains, and injuries. Also visits concerning emotional or gynecological concerns.
We use technology for convenience and peace of mind. Text your provider with a question, because maybe a visit is needed, but maybe not. Forgot to ask a question? Just send a quick text. Need a form completed? Email it. Done. Easy.
Common everyday rapid laboratory tests including strep, RSV, flu, and mono testing are availabe for $5. If more extensive lab testing is necessary, you can bill your insurance or most common lab tests are available for about $20 or less. We can usually draw your blood at Access Pediatric Care.
No more waiting on hold. If you are sure you want an appointment, send your provider a text. Not sure if you need an appointment? Send a text or an email, and your provider will get back to you with a plan.
Tired of explaining the issue over and over? Or having different doctors switching between different treatments? At Access Pediatric Care, we are a team who works together with the same plan.
Sometimes a medical problem requires the help of an specialist or therapist. Access Pediatric Care will work with you to coordinate the care between specialists.
Routine vaccinations are very important! Our vaccinations are covered by private insurances, such as CHP and Florirda Blue, or Medicaid. We can also provide childhood vacciness free-of-charge to uninsured children.

FAQ

Access Pediatric Care is an out-of-network provider and does not participate in any insurance plans. Reimbursement for out-of-network providers varies significantly from plan to plan. Please consult with a representative from your insurance company for your policy's details.
Membership fees are charged monthly to your bank account, credit or debit card.
Yes. Access Pediatric Care is not a substitute for health insurance, but you be able to save money by switching to a high-deductible plan or a cost-sharing plan. I recommend calling Christopher Homan, Health Benefits Advisor, with Doug Croley Insurance. His phone number is 850.545.1115, and his email address is chrishoman@dougcroleyins.com.
Most health insurance plans cover at least some the costs of scans and lab tests just as they would if ordered by an in-network physician. Please consult with a representative from your insurance company for your policy's details.
Call our office to set up a complimentary meet and greet with us to discuss the upcoming arrival of your newest family member. We will see your baby one to three days after discharge from the hospital.
In Tallahassee, both TMH and Capital Regional Medical Center have hospitalists that management hospital admission. We will work closely with the TMH or CRMC hospitalists to optimize your care, and we will provide seamless follow-up upon discharge.
Yes. Members, when appropriate, can use photos, phone calls and video calls to communicate with us. In many cases questions can be answered and diagnoses can be made (or ruled out) without an office visit. This saves families time and money, and it is covered by your membership, free of charge.
Given the small size of our practice, we will have an excellent understanding of your family's medical history. So we will do as much as we safely can via phone, text and video. This long-distance care may include calling in a prescription to a local pharmacy or helping you find a local urgent care or ER should further evaluation or testing be required.
We are advocates of vaccines, and we feel strongly that administering them based on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended schedule is one of the most important preventative care measures that any physician can offer. Immunizations have saved more lives than any other medical advancement. At the same time, we understand the fear many families have concerning vaccines. We will accept families that wish to delay or forgo vaccines, as long as they are willing to have an open discussion about vaccines. In most cases, we can create a vaccination plan that parents are happy with.
At this time we are unable to see non-members as patients.
