FAQs
Q: Are you accepting new patients?
A: Yes, we currently have openings in our practice depending on your child’s age. Please fill out our ONLINE APPLICATION and our office will contact you within 2 business days. We try to keep our practice small and personable, so we have time to get to know each and every family and be readily available for our families when needed.
Q: I have multiple children, do all need to be enrolled?
A: Yes. We do require that all children in your household join our practice. This helps to ensure continuity of care and minimize confusion.
Q: Do you take insurance?
A: No. Calabasas Pediatrics does not accept any insurance. Payment is due at the time of registration as we do not bill or collect from your insurance. We are considered out of network with all insurance companies. This allows us to be able to provide a higher level of care and spend more time with our families. As a courtesy, we can help submit claims to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement sent directly to you. In some cases, we are able to use your insurance for vaccines, labs and other send out tests. Please check with insurance company for information on your out-of-network benefits.

Q: What hospitals are your pediatricians on staff?
A:Our pediatricians are on staff at Los Robles Regional Medical Center and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center. They also work closely with pediatricians and specialists at other local and national hospitals including UCLA, CHLA and Cedars.
For newborns born at Los Robles or Tarzana Medical Center, our pediatricians will see your baby after they are born. For newborns delivering at another hospital or birthing center, we have relationships with pediatricians and specialists at most locations to see your new baby for continuity of care.
If your child needs to be admitted to any hospital, we will directly communicate, help navigate and work closely with the hospitalist and specialists there.
