After-hours Care and Emergency Service
When our office is closed, our answering service
will be able to reach the on-call doctor in an emergency. To reach
our answering service, dial our regular office number at 412-380-9250
and stay on the line until your call is answered. We utilize an
after hours nurse advice service at Children's Hospital Nurse Triage
Advice Center. If you have an urgent need to speak with a medical
professional, a nurse will speak with you and will generally be
able to help you. If the nurse is unable to assist you, he or she
will page the pediatrician on-call for our group. After-hours physician
coverage for telephone calls and hospitalized patients is shared
among other Children's Community Pediatrics pediatric practices.
Questions by Fax
To avoid telephone delays, our practice welcomes
questions by facsimile at 412-380-9253. Please include your child's
name and birth date, your question, and the number and best time
to return your call.
Billing and Insurance
Our billing is centralized and handled through
Children's Community Pediatrics' administrative office. If you have
a specific question regarding
your bill, please call 1-888-857-7646.
Referrals
If your insurance plan requires a referral for
services outside of our primary care office, please call in advance
and our staff will assist you.
