Insurance Cards & Co-Payments

Please bring your insurance card to each visit. We are required to collect co-payments at the time of the visit. We will need to verify your insurance information at every visit, to ensure we have the most up-to-date information. It is ultimately your responsibility to understand your insurance benefits.

Well Child Visits

Many insurance companies only pay for one well child visit each calendar year. Please check with your insurance company about coverage if your appointment is under twelve months from the previous well child examination.

Many insurances cover well/preventive care visits. However, if new medical diagnoses are discussed, changes in management of chronic conditions occur, or medications are refilled or modified, there may be an office visit charge in addition to your comprehensive exam charge. Copays, deductibles, and coinsurances will be applied, per your insurance plan.

Self Pay

Self-pay accounts are patients covered by insurance plans in which Pediatrics of Arlington does not participate, patients without an insurance card on file, or patients who do not have any insurance coverage. Payment is due at time of service.

We are happy to address any questions regarding your account or our financial policy. Questions about a bill should be directed to our External Billing Department, PedsOne at (866) 371-6118. Questions regarding your insurance coverage should be directed to your insurance company. This number can be found on the back of your insurance card. Any questions regarding your Quest/LabCorp statements should be directed to the respective laboratory company.

Office Hours

Monday - Friday
8:30 am - 5:00 pm

Saturday
8:30 am - 12:00 pm

We require an appointment for your child to be seen. We understand that children can become ill quickly and unexpectedly, which is why we reserve a portion of our daily schedule for sick children. We do our best to schedule these visits as same-day appointments. Please call to make an appointment. Our in-office phone lines are open 8AM-5PM.

Be advised that call volumes are high between 8:00am – 9:00am, so if you have a non-urgent medical question, consider calling later in the day or send us a portal message, and our triage nurse will contact you at their soonest availability.

Appointment Policies

After-Hours Care

If your child’s illness or injury is life-threatening, call 911.

POISON CONTROL HOTLINE

Our after hours line is intended for emergency or urgent situation. For urgent medical issues when the office is closed, reach our on-call physician by calling our office at (703) 522-7300. Please leave a message with our answering service that includes your child’s name and age, a contact phone number, a pharmacy number if needed, and a description of the medical issue. The on-call provider or our nurse triage service will call you back.

Due to the high volume of after hours calls, we kindly request that you wait to discuss any non-urgent medical questions and prescription requests with our nurse triage service until the following business day.

There may be a small fee assessed to after-hours calls between 5pm – 10pm.

The overnight (10pm – 8am) $25 phone triage fee remains in effect.
