How to choose a pediatrician before the baby arrives
Choose before your due date, so the practice is set before the first newborn checkup. Three things to do in Gainesville:
Book a prenatal visit
The AAP recommends a prenatal visit with the pediatrician for first-time parents, parents at high risk, and anyone who asks for one. Ask whether the practice offers one, and use it to ask about office hours, after-hours calls and sick visits.Check your insurance network
Call the number on your insurance card, or use your plan's directory, to confirm the practice is in network, and ask how long you have to add the baby to your plan after the birth. If your baby will be on Medicaid or CHIP, ask the practice whether it takes it. InsureKidsNow.gov links to each state's program for children (1-877-543-7669). On Medicaid for the pregnancy? See pregnancy Medicaid in Florida.Plan the hospital newborn visit
The AAP says every newborn should have an evaluation after birth, then a checkup 3 to 5 days after birth. Ask the practice whether its doctors see newborns at the hospital where you plan to deliver, and if not, who does the exam there and how the records reach the practice. Compare with OB-GYNs in Gainesville and hospitals with labor and delivery in Gainesville.

Which pediatricians in Gainesville, FL take Medicaid?
The NPI registry doesn't record which insurance a practice takes, so we can't say which ones do. Call the office, or search your Medicaid or CHIP plan's provider directory. InsureKidsNow.gov (1-877-543-7669) links to Florida's Medicaid and CHIP program for children.
Are these pediatricians accepting new patients?
The NPI registry doesn't say whether a practice is taking new patients, so call the office to check, and ask how soon after the birth you can book the first newborn visit.
When should I choose a pediatrician?
Before your due date. The AAP recommends a prenatal visit with the pediatrician for first-time parents and a newborn checkup 3 to 5 days after birth, so the practice should be set before the baby comes home.
How do I choose a pediatrician?
Book a prenatal visit if the practice offers one, confirm it's in your insurance network or takes your baby's Medicaid or CHIP plan, and ask whether its doctors see newborns at the hospital where you plan to deliver.
