PM Pediatric Care is a pediatrician-led company that provides urgent care, behavioral health, and school health services across the country. As a national healthcare company focused on the quality and innovation of pediatric care, we make providing whole child-care more accessible and easier to understand for families. PM Pediatric Care has had over 5 million visits to patients hailing from over 2,000 towns and cities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and more than a dozen countries worldwide.

Your child will be seen by a PM School Health specialist. Our PM School Health specialists include physicians who are board certified in pediatrics and pediatric emergency medicine, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, child psychologists, child therapists, and care managers. All our PM School Health specialists are experts in pediatrics and licensed to practice medicine in your state.

Our providers are trained and certified in providing school physical and mental health. We follow the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) law, school education code, and school board policies. We support students utilizing the District Health Policies as well as parent and district contacting, informing, and reporting procedures.

PM School Health provides both physical and mental health services to schools. Each school district decides which of these services they would like to be offered to their students. Please check with your school to determine which services are being offered in your school district.

There is no cost for services prior to or at the time of the visit and no student will be turned away from services due to lack of insurance. For those families who have health insurance, PM Pediatric Care will collect this insurance information at time of registration and will submit the claim to your insurance company for services provided. Your insurance company will determine any additional financial responsibilities based on your individual policy. If your child is uninsured, you will not receive a bill for these services.

Visits are scheduled by the school health team as needed. You may request that your child be seen by contacting your school.

Parents/guardians can be added to a physical health visit virtually (phone or video) upon request.

After a physical health visit, discharge summaries will be sent to parents/guardians via secure email or text. It is important a child’s medical home is aware of all care therefore we will send a copy of the visit summary to your child’s medical home on record.

Our virtual visits are fully HIPAA compliant and secure. You can be assured that your child’s conversations with the clinician and records are secure and private.

All prescriptions will be e-prescribed to the pharmacy of your choice.

The PM School Health specialist can create a work or school excuse note, which can be easily be received via secure email or text.

In some instances, the clinician may discover a more serious condition that requires your child to be seen in person for a more thorough examination or testing that is not available at school. In these cases, our clinician will work with your school’s designated personnel to facilitate the appropriate referral.
