Schedule Your Baby’s Appointment<\/h2>\n

Call us as soon as you can after delivery to schedule your first newborn doctor visit. We need to see you two to four days after discharge from the hospital, <\/strong>or within one week after birth if you’re not in a hospital setting. If you’re adopting, call for their first visit as soon as baby is born. This initial visit is very important to ensure your baby is on track for development. Here’s your schedule for newborn well-baby visits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enroll Your Newborn with Health Insurance<\/h2>\n

Insurance coverage for your baby isn’t automatic. It’s important to contact your healthcare insurance group after delivery so your baby is covered for their pediatric well exams and any other visits. You have options that may include a different insurance for your baby than yourself. Contact our friendly Metro billing team at 503-466-1668<\/a> if you have any questions about insurance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1692642254973{background-color: #f1f5fb !important;}” el_class=”pt60 pb100 mpb80″ el_id=”get-started”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1694133309368{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_class=”pb60″]<\/p>\n
