Whole Health Pediatrics

Whole Health Pediatrics charges a monthly membership fee based on each child's age, along with a one-time registration fee per family. Family plans are available. The practice also offers non-member a la carte pricing for families who prefer visits without a membership. Pricing is transparent with no copays and no hidden fees.

Most families can use HSA or FSA funds to pay for the membership fee, making it a tax-advantaged option. The practice recommends checking with your specific plan to confirm eligibility before enrolling.

Whole Health Pediatrics does not contract with insurance companies and does not bill insurance directly. The practice provides superbills after each visit, which you can submit through the Reimbursify platform for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Insurance can still cover labs, medications, and imaging when applicable.

The practice strongly advises families to maintain some form of health coverage. A high-deductible plan, catastrophic coverage, or health share plan can cover specialist visits, emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, labs, and imaging. The practice recommends consulting a financial advisor or insurance representative to find the right fit.
