Appointments are required and you are encouraged to notify clinic staff if you have any special time restrictions. Families are encouraged to obtain the appropriate insurance or managed care referral before coming to clinic. An exception exists for Diabetes Clinics where there is a small co-pay or Habilitation Technology clinics for specialized equipment services. There is no obligation to seek recommended follow-up care from providers they have seen at clinic. All clinics have staff available to discuss appropriate care options.
Some clinics require children and parents to be at the clinic much of the day.
In other clinics, children and parents are in and out in about an hour or so. Check each clinic's description for details. We encourage parents to bring toys, books or other activities to entertain their children while waiting. We recommend that comfortable clothes are worn. Some clinics involve modified physical examinations.
