Bringing Expert Pediatric Care to More Communities
无码专区 is one of the largest integrated children鈥檚 health systems in the United States. Two freestanding pediatric hospitals, specialty clinics and a network of more than 70 primary and specialty practices provide a comprehensive model of health, designed to help each child achieve their full potential.
We care for half a million children annually within our walls and have more than 9,300 associates who work to advance health education, clinical research, new treatments and more 鈥 impacting millions of other children who will never even enter our doors.
无码专区 pediatric hospitalists, neonatologists and critical care physicians also bring their expertise to staff the pediatric units of our collaborating hospitals. This includes the NICU, newborn nursery, inpatient care and more. And, if needed, patients may be transferred for more complex or critical services.
无码专区 Services at Your Local Hospital
无码专区 providers care for children in many settings, including collaborating hospitals. If your child is seen at a hospital that collaborates with 无码专区 in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Florida, they may be cared for by a 无码专区 provider.
Understanding Billing
After your child鈥檚 care, 无码专区 will bill your insurance if you have coverage. We may contact you to check your current insurance information. Depending on your coverage and how much your insurance pays, you may also receive a bill directly from 无码专区.
Did you get a bill? Bills for care provided at collaborating hospitals are mailed from 无码专区 Children鈥檚 Health, P.O. Box 530253, Atlanta, GA.
- Billing question or need to provide insurance information? Call the 无码专区 Billing Customer Service line at (866) 390-3610.

Why Choose 无码专区 for Your Child鈥檚 Transfer
Patient families and referring physicians want excellent care from teams of experts who truly care. Our pediatric specialists provide physician consults, advanced diagnostics and multidisciplinary treatments for the full range of pediatric conditions 鈥 from the most routine to the most rare and complex. We also offer a wide range of support services for the entire family. We work with you and keep you informed every step of the way.
New Baby? Add Them to Your Health Insurance
- Contact your insurance as soon as possible. Call within the first 2 weeks of birth. Your insurance company will not automatically enroll your newborn on your plan to pay for care.
- You don鈥檛 need to wait for your baby鈥檚 social security card or official birth certificate to add your newborn to your insurance or Medicaid.
- Confirm the spelling of your child鈥檚 legal name on all documents 鈥 very important.
- Ask about exclusions. State guidelines vary on coverage for a newborn鈥檚 first 30 days so confirm with your insurance what is needed for your newborn. Note: a grandparent鈥檚 insurance may not cover a grandchild (if the baby鈥檚 mother is on her parent鈥檚 insurance) so you may need other options.
- Insurance through your workplace? Contact both your employer鈥檚 Human Resource department and insurance company(s) to get benefits for your newborn.

Updates to Medicaid and CHIP
States often review whether families still qualify for health insurance through Medicaid or the Children鈥檚 Health Insurance Program (CHIP). If your child is covered by Medicaid or CHIP, update your personal information by calling your state鈥檚 Medicaid office, visiting online, or filling out a renewal form that is mailed to you.
No Surprises Act
"Surprise billing" is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can鈥檛 control who is involved in your care or your child鈥檚 care 鈥 such as when you or your child have an emergency, or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.

A Guide for First Time Parents
You've gone through pregnancy, labor and delivery, and now you're ready to go home and begin life with your baby. Once home, though, you might feel like you have no idea what you're doing.
These tips can help even the most nervous first-time parents feel confident about caring for a newborn in no time.
Feeding Your Baby
Choosing whether to breastfeed or formula feed their baby is one of the biggest decisions expectant and new parents will make.
Health experts believe breast milk is the best nutritional choice for infants. But breastfeeding may not be possible for all women. For many, the decision to breastfeed or formula feed is based on their comfort level, lifestyle and specific medical situations.
Newborn Safety
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and unexplained death of a baby younger than 1 year old. Most SIDS deaths are associated with sleep, which is why it's sometimes still called "crib death."
I love my new baby, so why am I sad?
In the first few weeks of caring for a newborn, most new moms feel anxious, sad, frustrated, tired and overwhelmed. Sometimes known as the "baby blues," these feelings get better within a few weeks. But for some women, they are very strong or don't get better. Postpartum depression is when these feelings don't go away after about 2 weeks or make it hard for a woman to take care of her baby.
