Safe Virtual Pediatric Visits With The Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg

 

Your child’s health and safety are always a priority at The Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg (CCoF). Telemedicine is a safe and efficient way to provide care through our Pediatric Virtual Visits. Pediatric Virtual Visits ensure your child receives expert medical attention in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

 

Telemedicine is a modern, convenient solution that allows our board-certified pediatricians to evaluate pink eye and depression and/or anxiety follow-ups. Initial appointments for depression and/or anxiety or other mental health appointments such as ADHD follow-ups should be made in person, as well as all child wellness visits.

 

For situations requiring further evaluation, The Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg has on-site lab services to streamline your child’s care journey. After a virtual visit, if lab testing is necessary, you can bring your child to our clinic for quick and efficient testing without waiting in line. Results and a personalized care plan will be provided promptly, ensuring that one of our expert pediatric care providers meets your child's needs with minimal disruption to your day.

​

Is My Child Eligible for Telemedicine Visits?

 

Only established Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg patients are eligible for telemedicine visits. If your child is not an established patient, you may need an in-person visit first. 

We accept all Virginia Blue Cross and Blue Shield, CareFirst, Aetna, Humana, United Health Care, Innovation Health, and all Medicaid products. Check with your insurance provider to confirm any telemedicine or virtual care coverage, restrictions, or additional fees.

What Are the Benefits of Pediatric Virtual Visits?

 

Pediatric Virtual Visits offer a range of benefits for both parents and children. First and foremost, these visits provide a safe option for receiving medical care during increased health concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or flu season. You can consult with trusted board-certified pediatricians without leaving home, reducing the risk of exposure to contagious illnesses. Telemedicine visits are also an easy alternative to urgent care or sick child visits, saving you and your child time when they could be resting.

​

Virtual visits are also convenient. Parents can schedule appointments that fit into their busy lives and avoid the hassle and discomfort of travel and waiting rooms. Whether for a minor illness, a follow-up consultation, or general health guidance, telemedicine allows you to connect with a pediatric expert at a time that works best for your family. Our on-site lab services make it easy to follow up on necessary testing for strep throat, urinary tract infections, or the flu without the stress of long waits.

Telemedicine visits are HIPAA compliant and safe, meaning there’s no risk to you or your child’s medical data.

​

When Should I Take My Child to the Doctor?

 

Knowing when to seek medical care for your child can be challenging. Pediatric Virtual Visits are ideal for addressing many common health concerns, including mild respiratory symptoms, skin rashes, allergies, and behavioral health consultations. These visits are also great for wellness advice and follow-up care for ongoing health issues.

​

There are times when an in-person visit or emergency care is necessary. Please visit our clinic or seek emergency medical attention for severe symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or serious injuries. If a virtual visit indicates a need for further testing, our on-site lab services can provide fast diagnostics, ensuring your child receives the appropriate care without delay.
