Visit Types

Well Visits

$200 plus costs of surveys and vaccines*

About well visits with Bloom:

• Well visits are designed to evaluate your child’s growth and development.

• All major caregivers should come if they’re able.

• Parents are encouraged to bring a list of questions or concerns - on paper or in your phone, just get it out of your head.

• Your child’s doctor will also ask questions to investigate your child’s development and physical health.

• Sometimes, new issues are identified during a well visit. You may be encouraged to return for a separate visit. If we handle the new issue at the same time, the well visit and new issue may be billed as two separate visits happening at the same time.

• Sometimes, chronic issues (like ADHD or asthma) are managed at a well visit, to save parents a trip to the office. In this situation, there will still be bills for two separate visits happening at the same time.

  * What’s That Mean?

  Costs: This is the amount that we will bill. If your child is enrolled in an insurance policy, we will bill your insurance directly. If you do not have insurance, we offer a prompt pay discount.

  Surveys: Pediatricians use surveys to check on development, like the ASQ (Ages and Stages Questionnaire), the MCHAT (Modified Autism Checklist), PHQ-9 (Psychological Health Questionnaire).

  Vaccines: Vaccines are a requirement for patients of Bloom Pediatrics. You can see our vaccine policy to see which are required and which are optional. Parents can discuss the schedule with Dr Beavers, if they do not want to follow the suggested schedule.

Simple Problem Visits

15 Minutes Scheduled

$125

This is the bill you will receive for a condition that is not considered complicated. That doesn’t mean your concerns are not important. In general, this is the bill for a problem that can be treated with over-the-counter medications. This is sometimes the case for constipation, dry skin, and acne. This is also the bill you would receive if your child has a chronic condition that needs prescription medicines, but the medications don’t need to be changed. Some examples might be asthma, depression, or ADHD. If a visit lasts longer than 20 minutes (including some of the time your provider spends outside of the exam room), your bill will be changed to a Complicated Problem Visit.

*You’ll see a 5-digit number with the visit descriptions. These are the numbers a medical office will use to bill an insurance company. You can use these numbers to check your coverage.

30 Minutes Scheduled

$175

This is the bill for more complicated or longer visits. You will receive this bill for any visit lasting more than 20 minutes (including some of the time your provider spends outside of the exam room). You’ll get this bill for a problem that can’t be diagnosed without labs or images, or a problem that won’t go away without a prescription medicine. You’ll get if your child has a chronic condition, like asthma or ADHD, and we are changing prescription meds to best meet your child’s needs.

Some conditions can be managed with video visits. These visits require specific consent (or permissions) from parents, and children have to be present. But they also allow multiple caregivers to participate in the meeting, without requiring everyone to leave work and come to the office. Kids must be present at some point in the video visit, but for some sensitive conversations - like behavior or development - kids can leave to play with toys in the safety of their home while parents continue important discussions with the provider.

This visit type is not common. This is the bill you would receive if you have been asked to follow up a medical problem, like coming back to the office to be sure an ear infection is gone. This will only be used for checking on a problem the provider has already seen and dealt with.

$25 plus costs of procedures or vaccines

If you believe your child needs to be seen before the next business day, we recommend your child be seen at a pediatric urgent care (like PM Pediatrics) or a pediatric emergency room (like WakeMed Pediatric Emergency Department).

However, we also understand that these offices are a long way from the Bloom office, and likely a long way for patients and families. If parents are uncomfortable with the distance, but feel their child should be seen before the next business day, we suggest care at an urgent care or emergency department that is not staffed by pediatric providers.

Non-urgent questions regarding your child’s care should be sent through the EHR portal - medication refill, or tips for getting a kid to take a medicine.

In a few situations, a question needs to be answered immediately. In that situation, contact Dr Beavers by phone directly by calling the office or sending a text. If you don’t get an answer, please follow up!

Some simple visits may be scheduled for weekends, such as checking on newborns. These can only be initiated by the providers.
