Patient Responsibility
At Focus Pediatrics, we believe that a successful healthcare experience is a partnership between our staff, patients, and their families. To ensure the best care possible, we ask our patients and their guardians to take the following responsibilities seriously:
1. Providing Accurate Information:
Patients and guardians are responsible for providing accurate and complete information regarding medical history, current medications, allergies, and any other relevant health information.
2. Understanding Financial Obligations:
It is the patient’s responsibility to understand their insurance coverage, including benefits, co-pays, and deductibles. Patients should be aware of their financial obligations at the time of service.
3. Attending Appointments:
Patients are expected to attend scheduled appointments and to notify our office at least 24 hours in advance if they need to cancel or reschedule. Consistent attendance is crucial for effective care.
4. Following Care Instructions:
Patients should follow the treatment and care instructions provided by their healthcare providers, including medication regimens and follow-up appointments.
5. Communicating Concerns:
Open communication is essential. Patients and guardians should express any concerns, questions, or changes in health status to our healthcare team to ensure appropriate care.
6. Respecting Others:
We ask that all patients and guardians treat our staff and other patients with respect and courtesy. This helps create a positive environment for everyone.
By partnering with us in your healthcare journey, you help ensure the best outcomes for your child. If you have any questions regarding your responsibilities, please feel free to contact our office.
