How can families reduce out-of-pocket costs for pediatric care?
Families can take several steps to minimize out-of-pocket costs for pediatric care:
Choose a health insurance plan that offers comprehensive pediatric coverage. Utilize preventive care services that are often covered at no additional cost under many insurance plans. Seek care from in-network providers to benefit from lower co-pays and deductibles. Inquire about sliding fee scales at community health centers. Explore assistance programs for prescription medications.
