We are writing to inform you that Dr. Mehgan Kidd will be leaving our practice on at the end of June as she accepted a prestigious position as the Medical Officer of Infectious Disease with the Texas Department of State Health Services and will be relocating to Austin.

While we are sad to see Dr. Kidd leave our team, we are incredibly proud of this significant opportunity to serve the health of the wider Texas community.

Thank you for your understanding and we wish Dr. Kidd all the best in this important new leadership role benefiting children in Texas.

Sincerely,

The Team at VIP Pediatrics

Dear Valued Families,

We are writing to inform you of some necessary adjustments to our office. We understand that changes like these can be concerning, and we want to be transparent about the reasons behind them and how they will impact you.

Providing the highest quality pediatric care for your children is our top priority. In recent years, the costs of running our practice have significantly increased. These rising costs include everything from medical supplies and equipment to staffing, insurance, and maintaining our facilities. We have absorbed these increases for as long as possible, but to continue providing the level of care you expect and deserve, we need to make some adjustments.

Fee Adjustments:
Earlier this year, we updated our fee schedule for the first time since 2020. An updated fee schedule will be available at the front desk and can be emailed to you as well.

Phone calls during office hours may now be assessed an Evaluation and Management code as allowed by insurance companies. These codes went into effect Jan 1, 2025. Charging for calls will depend on the length of time the provider requires to answer your medical questions. Calls under 5 minutes or calls that lead to a same day or next day appointment will not be assessed any fee. We encourage you to discuss any questions you may have with our staff as we learn how insurance companies want these codes to be utilized.

After-Hours Call Policy:
We also want to inform you of a change to our after-hours call policy. While we understand the need for access to care outside of regular business hours, providing this service has become increasingly costly. Therefore, we will be implementing a fee of $25 for after-hours calls to our nurse triage service or the on-call physician effective April 1, 2025.
This fee will help us ensure that we can continue to offer this service while maintaining appropriate staffing levels to address urgent medical needs. We encourage you to utilize our portal for non-urgent questions or call during regular office hours for routine questions and concerns.

Concierge Choice Members:
Routine phone calls during office hours or after hours will not be assessed any extra fees for our Concierge Choice Families. For more information regarding the Concierge Choice program, email members@ccpmd.com or call 877.888.5590.

We are committed to working with you to ensure your child receives the care they need. Please do not hesitate to contact our office at 713.665.4567 if you have any questions or concerns. Our staff is available to discuss these changes with you in more detail and explore options that may be available.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our practice. We value the opportunity to care for your children.

Sincerely,
VIP Pediatrics Team

With a winter storm heading our way, I want to let our families know how our office will operate given the evolving weather conditions.
We called all patients scheduled for Tuesday to see if they would like to be seen Monday afternoon. If you are one of these families, please call our office and leave a message with the answering service if you would like to reschedule for tomorrow afternoon.
We will be posting on social media Tuesday morning with a status update if our office will be open or closed Tuesday.
If we close the office Tuesday or possibly longer, we will still be able to see patients virtually as long as power is maintained.
It is important to us for our families and staff to be as safe as possible. We will make decisions to open or close the office based on this.
Stay warm and we will post an update here likely Monday afternoon.
