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 (412-683-5534) 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.

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.
