Know Before You Go FAQ - Main Campus Appointment

What should I have ready before the child’s appointment?

Please complete your pre-registration through the link you will receive prior to your visit, which includes uploading your ID and insurance documents, signing your consents, and providing any medical history.

To help things go smoothly, check if your insurance requires a referral before your appointment. If it does, be sure to bring it with you so you won't need to reschedule. Not sure? Just give your insurance provider or the office where your child's appointment is scheduled a quick call—they'll be happy to help!

If the child is a new patient, please bring their medical records and any films (if applicable) to ensure your child receives the best care possible.

How do I check-in for my appointment?

Once you arrive at your clinician's office, please scan the QR code to notify our office you have arrived and complete any missing documents needed for check in. After you complete the check-in, the front office staff will call you to collect any additional information they may need.

How long will my appointment take?

The length of your appointment can vary depending on the specialty and the specific needs of your child. Our goal is to provide excellent care tailored to your child's health needs.

Generally, appointments can range from 30 minutes to an hour. If your appointment requires diagnostic testing, you may spend more time in your visit. If you are completing diagnostic testing, you will need to visit Patient Access on the first floor of the Ambulatory Care Building to check in for your diagnostic appointment before returning to the practice to complete your visit.

How can I locate my provider's office?

Be on the lookout for an appointment reminder that includes the address for your visit. Download the MyNicklaus app for directions, and to access digital services such as physician directories, appointment scheduling, patient records and more.
