Pediatrics

Ensuring your child has regular well visits with a pediatrician is crucial for their journey toward becoming a healthy adult. Your pediatrician will help with essential vaccinations, monitor growth and development, and work to prevent potential health issues before they arise.

Think of a pediatrician as a partner in your child's health. Our children’s health care providers build a relationship with your child, which supports their development and helps in diagnosing and treating illnesses when they occur.

Pediatricians specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases in infants and children, while also overseeing the growth, development, and overall well-being of pre-adolescents.

School-based Health Centers

In conjunction with the Binghamton City School District, UHS operates school-based health centers at Franklin Elementary School and Roosevelt Elementary School.

These centers provide:

Primary and preventive health care services
Counseling, emotional and behavioral support services
Annual physicals if requested; a physical is required by the New York State Department of Education for children in grades K, 1, 3, 7 and 10

The staff of our school-based health centers (which includes a full-time, board certified pediatrician) works closely with school nurses and coordinates care with the child’s primary care provider to ensure communication and continuity of care.

Who can get care?
Care is available to all students who attend a participating school. However, for your child to be seen by center staff, an enrollment form that gives us permission to see your child must be on file. These forms must be updated each year.

What about costs?

There is no out-of-pocket cost for services delivered at the center, regardless of whether you have insurance or not.
The center will bill your insurance or Medicaid (if applicable). To do this, we must have a copy of the front and back of your insurance card.
When your insurance company is billed, they may send you an Explanation of Benefits form. Even if this form shows an amount in the patient responsibility column, there is no cost to you for services provided at the school-based health center.
You are not responsible for a co-pay.
You are responsible for the cost of any services provided outside the center, such as X-rays or prescriptions that may be ordered.

When is the center open and how do I get an appointment for my child?
School-based health centers are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. following the school schedule. This means we’re typically open on teacher conference and staff development days, when the school is open but students aren’t present. The centers are closed on holidays and vacation days when schools are closed. Parents may call for an appointment to have their child seen even if the student is not well enough to attend school that day. Parents are welcome to accompany their child to the center and are encouraged to communicate with center providers.
