Richmond Pediatrics is part of Seattle Children's Primary Care Group, which is separate from Seattle Children's Hospital. While we all work together to deliver high-quality care, please review the following information to see how this may impact you so you know what to expect.

If your child sees a pediatrician at Richmond Pediatrics, be sure your insurance company contracts with these providers. Insurance plan contracts may be different between Seattle Children's Primary Care Group and Seattle Children's Hospital.
Seattle Children's Primary Care Group and Seattle Children's Hospital have different financial assistance programs, including eligibility requirements.
If your child also receives care at Seattle Children's Hospital, you will receive separate bills for those services.

Insurance tips

Coverage for newborns – We request you add your newborn baby to your insurance plan within the first week of the baby’s birth to make sure claims are not denied.
Well-child checks – Please keep in mind that different insurance plans have different criteria for covering patient physicals. Some plans cover 1 per calendar year, while others cover 1 per benefit year, which doesn't always coincide with a typical calendar year. We recommend that you contact your insurance company to find out more about your specific benefit.
