TESTING GUIDELINES:

The child has no symptoms and has had COVID exposure:

We advise that testing does not rule out COVID but is helpful when it is positive. If your child has had a definite exposure to COVID, we recommend quarantine for 14 days after exposure regardless of results. An appointment will be needed to discuss appropriate timing of testing, interpretation of results and recommendations.

The child has symptoms and has had COVID exposure:

We advise that testing does not rule out COVID but is helpful when it is positive. If your child has had a definite exposure to COVID, we recommend quarantine for at least 10 days from Day 1 of symptoms and until they are asymptomatic for 24 hours, regardless of results. We cannot guarantee that testing will be done on day of appointment due to testing limitations and constraints that are affected by timing of the test after exposure. An appointment will be needed to discuss appropriate timing of testing, interpretation of results and recommendations.

The child has symptoms and no known COVID exposure:

We cannot guarantee that testing will be done on day of appointment due to testing limitations and constraints that are affected by timing of the test after exposure. An appointment will be needed to discuss appropriate timing of testing, interpretation of results and recommendations.

Antibody testing:

Antibody testing does not have very good accuracy for verifying that a patient has had COVID. We do not recommend testing at this time. If you would like testing to be done, the results may not have definitive answers to if your child had COVID or if they are immune to COVID now or in the future. If you would still like to pursue antibody testing, we will make a telemedicine appointment for you and your child will need to be present.

COVID -19 update 9/14/2020

We require that parents, and children (who are 3+) wear a mask in clinic at all times. It is recommended that age 2-3 wear a mask if they can do so reasonably.

The following question was removed:

• Have you, the patient, or any household family member had any close contact with anyone who has traveled in the last 3 weeks?

COVID-19 (4/25/20)

4/25/20: As a valued patient of our clinic, we appreciate the trust you place in us and want to inform you about how we are addressing the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. We are closely monitoring events in our local community and continuously updating our policies and protocols as a result of new information.

Please know that our office is following recommended guidance from public health authorities, including best practices for hygiene, infection control ,and medical professional team health. We feel confident in our ability to continue seeing patients and providing primary care according to the Tradition of Quality Care that you have come to expect and deserve.

Our highest priority is to keep all of our patients and staff as safe and healthy as possible.

Therefore, using CDC guidelines, we are taking patients’ and family members’/guardians’ temperatures upon arrival and asking these screening questions prior to allowing them to proceed. Notably, all patients need to consider these questions prior to being placed in an exam room:

• Have you, the patient, or any household family member been experiencing fever, cough or breathing issues?

• Have you, the patient, or any household family member had any close contact with anyone who has traveled in the last 3 weeks?

• Have you, the patient, or any household family member had any confirmed exposure to Coronavirus in the last 3 weeks?

Should you arrive at the clinic and answer “yes” to any of the questions, you and everyone accompanying the patient will be expected to put on a mask and immediately be taken to an exam room for further evaluation or, if it is a well-visit, you may be asked to reschedule.

Everyone that enters our clinic will have their temperature taken. If any child or anyone that accompanies a child to a well – visit has an illness or has a fever, your appointment may be cancelled, you may be advised to leave, and you may need to call back to reschedule your child’s appointment.

We recommend that parents, and children (who are over the age of 2 and reasonably able to) wear a mask in clinic at all times.

Only 1-2 healthy, illness-free adults may accompany patients to any clinic appointment.

We now offer telemedicine as an option for some types of illnesses and medical concerns. Check-ups cannot be done via telemedicine. Contact our office for more information.

We now have a limited number of COVID-19 testing kits; however, these may only be used if qualifying, current CDC guidelines for testing our met.

Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty as we work together to keep our well children well and able to get their checkups and immunizations and provide care for our sick patient safely.

The health and safety of our staff and our patients is paramount and we will continue to see patients as long as none of these are compromised but this may mean that appointments are different than what you have previously experienced.
