Yes. While Thiara Pediatric Care does not bill insurance for its services, your child still needs coverage for prescriptions, vaccines obtained outside the practice, labs, imaging, emergency room visits, and hospital care. A PPO plan works best alongside this membership. The practice does accept HMO patients, though HMO requirements around referrals and orders may limit some of the membership's flexibility. The practice cannot accept Medi-Cal patients.

Members contact Dr. Thiara directly by phone, text, or email. There is no office staff or messaging relay. Dr. Thiara handles urgent concerns personally and schedules sick visits same day or next day based on how unwell the child is.

Yes. Dr. Thiara offers telehealth visits for all age groups. Telehealth is included with membership and works well for concerns that do not require an in-person exam. For situations that need a physical assessment, she schedules a house call instead.

Yes. Dr. Thiara conducts all visits at the patient's home. She brings her equipment to you, so there is no waiting room, no exposure to other sick children, and no need to move a sick child from bed. This applies to well-child visits, sick visits, procedures, and routine checkups.

Dr. Thiara performs several in-home procedures as part of the membership. These include nebulizer medication administration, simple sutures and suture removal, and drainage of abscesses. She arrives with the supplies needed to handle these situations without a clinic visit.
