Dear Parents and Guardians,
​
We understand that changes in insurance coverage can occur, and your child may now be enrolled under a new or different policy. If your child has recently been added to your insurance plan or has new active coverage, please complete the attached form in its entirety.
​
As a courtesy, our office will submit claims for your child’s previous visits to the commercial insurance you provide on this form. This documentation may also be used to confirm your request for us to bill your insurance retroactively.
Important Note for HMO Members:
If your child is covered under an HMO plan, Gold Star Pediatrics must be designated as the Primary Care Provider (PCP) for claims to be eligible for coverage. Before submitting this form, please contact your insurance company and request that either Gold Star Pediatrics (NPI: 1669129342) or Dr. Patel (NPI: 1003082280) be listed as your child’s PCP, effective from the earliest date you wish to have visits covered.
​
For in-network insurance plans, please allow 30 to 90 days for claim processing by your insurance provider. Once processed and returned to our office, any necessary billing adjustments and applicable refunds will be issued to the address we have on file.
