Dr. Patel: I start discussing the transition process with kids and their families around age 16. The process begins around age 18 when they are ready to take ownership of their care. This process takes time and differs with each person. Our goal is to reduce the anxiety of the person and their family. The person needs to have continued follow-up without interruption in care. Our dedicated team makes this transition process seamless. We help people understand their insurance needs, be comfortable with their new provider, and address logistical challenges.
