Key Policy Summaries
-
Vaccine Policy
Palmetto Pediatrics strongly supports vaccines and recommends that all children and young adults follow the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics immunization schedules. The practice does not recommend alternative schedules and emphasizes timely vaccinations to protect children and the community. Families who have firmly decided against vaccinating their children are encouraged to seek a healthcare provider whose views align with their own.
-
Tardiness and No-Show Policy
Palmetto Pediatrics strives to keep appointments on time and asks families to arrive promptly. Appointment reminders are sent by text and/or phone, so families should provide a valid cell phone number. Patients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule.
-
Referrals
Palmetto Pediatrics requires three working days to process referrals. Families should confirm the specialist or facility is in their insurance network and provide appointment details, along with the specialist’s name, address, and phone number. For new or worsening symptoms, an appointment with a practice provider is recommended before requesting a referral.
