Living Water Pediatrics

Living Water Pediatrics does not participate in any insurance plans, including Medicaid. The practice operates on a monthly membership fee paid directly by families. The practice recommends that members maintain a major medical insurance plan for hospitalizations, specialist visits, and other services outside the practice's scope.

Monthly membership fees vary by age group. Families pay a one-time enrollment fee of $100 per child, with a maximum of $200 per family. After-hours in-person visits, meaning visits after 5 pm on weekdays or on weekends, carry an additional $75 charge. The practice also offers a newborn house call for a one-time fee of $300, available within 10 miles or 30 minutes of the office, subject to provider availability.

Members receive 60-minute well visits, same-day or next-day sick visits, and direct access to a pediatrician for urgent situations. Membership also includes up to 36 sick visits per year covering triage calls, texts, and emails. The practice provides in-office procedures, telemedicine visits, supplement counseling, and access to the ClassPass educational series covering topics like pediatric nutrition, breastfeeding, newborn care, and infant CPR.

Living Water Pediatrics sees patients from birth through age 22. The practice covers the full range of pediatric care across that age span, from newborn visits to care for young adults.

The functional medicine path focuses on identifying root causes of chronic illness through in-depth testing, gut healing, and lifestyle and nutrition interventions. Members on this path work with both the physician and Integrative Nutritionist Aura Carlson, MS, CNS, LN. This path carries a different pricing structure than general pediatrics. Families interested in standard well and sick care typically follow the general pediatrics path.

The practice also invests in the Charlotte community through educational events, seminars, and financial contributions that support childhood health. ClassPass educational classes and webinars on topics like gut health, pediatric nutrition, and CPR come included with membership.
