What Level of Service Will My Child Receive?

Visit levels are determined by the complexity of the eventual diagnosis.  It is not possible to predict in advance what your child’s level of service will be.

In general, an uncomplicated, single, clear cut diagnosis and treatment of a minor illness or injury will result in a basic visit charge (Level 3). As the diagnosis or treatment becomes more complex, the level of visit will increase.

How does a visit to After Hour Pediatrics compare to an emergency room visit?

*For any potentially life threatening illness or injury, call 911 or go immediately to the nearest  hospital Emergency Room.*
