PREVENTION AND AWARENESS TIPS TO KEEP KIDS SAFE THIS SUMMER:

1. Never leave a child alone in a car, even if the car and air conditioner is running. Make sure to check the back seat before you get out of the car and Look Before You Lock.

2. Don’t assume it can’t happen to you or your child. A change in routine or schedule can cause a caregiver to forget that a child is still in the car.

3. Use reminders to check the back seat when you reach your destination. Place something you will need in the back seat when traveling with a child.

4. Keep cars locked at all times and keep car keys away from children. If a child is missing, check pools and water sources first, then vehicles, including trunks.

5. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you see a child alone who is in or around a car.

Dear West Plano Pediatrics Patients and Families,

This announcement is to reassure our patients with Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) that we still accept most BCBS plans. The only exception is we are not currently accepting new patients with BCBS HMO plans; however pre-existing patients are not affected.

In addition, although we are affiliated with and on medical staff at UTSW/ Texas Health Resources Plano (THR PLANO), we are an independent pediatric medical practice, and our patients are not affected by UTSW/THR’s decision to not accept BCBS insurance plans at this time.

Services at actual UTSW/ THR Plano hospitals i.e. ER, labs, imaging, and surgical services may not be covered. Our provider services would not be affected. We hope you have found this information helpful.

Sincerely,
Drs. Berger, Gair, Mix, Prengler, Reed and Schultz
