Absolutely!  Primary Care is available to everyone.

Can Brave Care be my primary care physician?

Brave Care can provide virtual care services in select locations, but we are unable to provide in-person services or primary care to those outside our service area at this time.

What if I don’t live near a Brave Care location? Am I required to come into the office?

Insurance coverage for bloodwork and lab testing is highly dependent on your specific insurance policy. If you have questions regarding your policy’s coverage, a call to your insurance plan is a great place to start. 

Is bloodwork and lab testing covered by my insurance also?

We’re happy to take FSA or HSA cards for costs such as office visits, laboratory work done on-site, and more. Because we cannot guarantee coverage, it’s important to verify the specific rules of your HSA or FSA to ensure this is an acceptable use of that benefit.

Brave Care offers top notch, thoughtful, evidence-based pediatric primary care.  We deliver this cutting edge care in a modern, warm, and friendly environment.  We listen, putting our patients and families first, and we’re here when you need us, offering evening and weekend pediatric primary care appointments.

Why should I choose Brave Care for pediatric primary care?

Primary care involves many types of preventive healthcare services for your child including well child visits, vaccinations, growth and development assessments, and guidance for keeping your child safe. A primary care provider, commonly referred to as a “PCP,” is often thought of as a starting place for healthcare of all types. In addition to preventive care, primary care providers can help coordinate referrals to specialists, therapists, and help manage chronic diseases over time.

Many insurance companies require you to have a specified primary care provider. At Brave Care, we work as a team and communicate well.  You can expect the same great primary care from any of our providers and are welcome to see whoever you would like, even if that’s a different person at each visit.

Do I need to select a PCP (Primary Care Provider)?

Yes you may! Although the level of care provided is amazing across the board, we understand people connect in different ways. We recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our providers to see if he or she is a good fit.

Can I select a different PCP for each of my children?

You can request that the office of your existing provider(s) send the medical records to us on your behalf. Typically, the office will require a signed and authorized form to release the medical records. However, our staff will be happy to assist you with this, and we can send a request on your behalf.

How can I get my child’s medical records to Brave Care?

Pediatric providers are specially trained to take care of infants, children, and young adults. Our practice and provider training are devoted specifically to pediatrics. Family medicine providers must divide their time between caring for children and caring for adults and the elderly. At Brave Care, we understand that children aren’t little adults, and we believe that specialized care by pediatric experts will be most beneficial to you and your family.

What’s the difference between pediatric primary care and family medicine?

If you request a referral, or if a specialist referral is recommended for your child, we will send a copy of your child’s medical records and a request for consultation to the specialist of your choice. Typically, the specialist’s office will reach out with a phone call to schedule your appointment once they receive our referral.

What happens if I need a specialist referral?

We have answers.
