If your child comes in for a well check-up and you also share a new concern (an ear that's been hurting, a rash, a medication issue, etc.), we are happy to address it, but doing so may add an acute visit to the appointment. Insurance is then billed for two separate services on the same day, which often results in a copay or deductible charge. *This is an insurance billing rule, not a Pediatric Associates of Abilene policy.* We would rather care for your child today than make you come back. Thank you for your understanding!
