Newborn Care

After your baby is born and you are discharged from the hospital, Grace Pediatrics will schedule an office appointment within 1 to 2 days of discharge. This initial visit is important to check your newborn's weight, feeding progress, jaundice levels, and overall health.

Newborns require frequent visits during their first weeks and months of life. Our team will guide you through the recommended well-child visit schedule and ensure your baby is meeting their developmental milestones.

If you have concerns about your newborn at any time -- including after hours -- do not hesitate to call our office at (386) 243-8474. Our on-call provider is available to answer your questions.

Insurance for Newborns

Your newborn's medical care typically falls under the mother's insurance policy for the first 30 days of life. During this time, it is important to contact your insurance company to add your baby to your policy or enroll them in their own coverage.

If you have questions about insurance coverage for your newborn, our billing team is here to help. We can assist you with understanding your benefits and guide you through the process of adding your baby to your insurance plan.

Grace Pediatrics accepts Sunshine Medicaid, United Healthcare Medicaid, Humana Medicaid, Florida Healthy Kids, Blue Cross Blue Shield (most plans — excludes MyBlue), and most private insurances.
