What to Expect at Your Visit
Detailed directions, maps, and lodging suggestions are
available to help you reach
our offices.
You will check in at one of the
reception desks
on the
second floor of St. Louis Children's Hospital or on the
third floor of Doctor's Building C at MBMC. Please have
your insurance card available. Co-pay will be requested
prior to the visit.
During the initial office visit, the doctor and his or
her associates may spend 1 to 2 hours with you and your
child. The need for laboratory studies and the treatment
plan will be discussed with you. If results of
laboratory tests or x-rays are needed that same day,
additional time may be required. Although this will
entail some waiting time for you, we feel it is
compensated by the thoroughness of the evaluation.
After your visit, the specialist will call or write your
child's personal physician to report the results of the
evaluation. Your child may be scheduled for another
visit to discuss the results of the tests with you or to
observe the progress of treatment.
There is an outpatient pharmacy on the first floor of St. Louis Children's
Hospital that is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (M-F). The outpatient pharmacy
at Missouri Baptist Hospital is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (M-F).
You or your insurance company will receive a bill from
Washington University School of Medicine for the
specialist's services. You may also receive a bill from
St. Louis Children's Hospital if laboratory tests,
radiology examinations or other services provided by the
hospital were performed. For information about your
bill, contact the Washington University Patient Billing
Services line at
(314) 935-0500 or
(800) 862-9980.
