Intake Clinics

An Intake Clinic is generally a child's first doctor's visit at Children's Clinics. It serves to provide families with information on the array of services available to them as well as with support and diagnostic information related to their child's medical condition. Prospective patients must attend the Intake Clinic in order to determine how best their specific needs can be met at Children's Clinics specialty clinics.

During an extended visit, the family meets with a nurse, social worker/case manager and a pediatrician. An audiologist is also part of the team, providing hearing screening, especially for children 3 and under. A genetics counselor may also be present. Additionally, enrollment, benefits coordination and questions regarding payment responsibility are also addressed during the visit. The set of specialty services appropriate for the care of the specific child are described. The family leaves the Intake Clinic with future appointment information, as well as nursing and social work/case manager information. A follow up call by a representative from Pilot Parents is made in the days following the visits.

Families are scheduled for Intake Clinic after they complete the enrollment process.
