Summer, Summer, Summertime!
Summer has arrived!
We are here for all the warm weather activities and look forward to some more relaxed time with family and friends. But, of course, summer safety is on the top of our minds!
Did you know that our providers have authored several blogs about safely enjoying all that summer has to offer? You can find them – along with information about dozens of other topics – on our website under the “Newsletters & Blogs” tab. Want a sneak peek of some of our most popular summer issues? We’ve attached some below:
· Swim Safety & Drowning Prevention
· Staying Tick & Mosquito Free
Sadly, the summer is never long enough. In no time at all, you’ll be completing school forms and prepping for early season sports. You can find links to submit those on our website too!
Traffic Alert in Bala Cynwyd
Utility work continues on Rock Hill Road in the vicinity of our Bala Cynwyd office and will result in intermittent closures and detours.
Please allow plenty of extra time for traveling to your appointment.
The construction team will allow access to our office, but you will need to stop and let them know where you are headed. Unfortunately, the work is scheduled to continue through the summer. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Pre-visit Check-in = Better Care, Faster
Approximately 48 hours before your appointment, you will receive a message asking you to check-in.
Besides confirming your arrival, this message also allows you to:
· confirm demographics
· manage co-pays or outstanding balances
· share symptoms you’d like your provider to know about
· complete screening instruments necessary to track developmental milestones
The information you share during this pre-visit check-in will allow your provider to:
· better identify your child’s individual needs
· offer more specific guidance
· focus on your particular areas of concern
Completing this paperwork in advance of your visit – in the comfort of your own home – gives your provider an opportunity to review your responses in advance, making for a more seamless visit to the office. Better yet? it saves you from having to complete the process in our waiting room, before being seen.
The moral of the story? Always complete your pre-visit questionnaire in advance!
Need Forms?!
The time for camp and early season sports forms is upon us.
Remember, the fastest way to submit your form is on our website. This will guarantee that your request is routed to the proper team for processing – and will allow you to pay your form fee online, which will eliminate delays in completion.
Just need an immunization record? You can print these from home anytime, directly from your child’s Follow My Health account. This will save you the time and expense of having our office provide it!
Still have questions? This short video from our Practice Logistics Manager, Courtney, breaks down everything you need to know about forms.
