Pediatrics

Healthcare IT and billing built for a pediatric practice

Well-child schedules, immunization management and vaccine inventory billing for pediatric practices.

Why pediatrics is different

Pediatrics runs on schedules: well-child visit intervals, immunization series, developmental screening windows, and missing any of them means both a care gap and lost revenue.

Healthcare SBC automates the schedule: age-based visit prompts, immunization forecasting with registry reporting, VFC and private vaccine inventory separation, growth charting and standardized developmental screening.

Common challenges

Where pediatrics practices lose revenue

The billing and workflow problems specific to this specialty, and the ones generic systems handle badly.

Vaccine inventory separation

VFC and privately purchased vaccine stock must be tracked and billed separately with accurate accounting.

Immunization registry reporting

State registry submission is required, and manual reporting is slow and error-prone.

Well-visit plus sick-visit coding

A problem addressed during a well-child visit is separately billable with modifier 25 but frequently missed.

Developmental screening capture

Standardized screening tools are separately reimbursable when documented and scored correctly.

FAQ

Pediatrics, frequently asked questions questions

Does the platform separate VFC and private vaccine inventory?
Yes. Both stocks are tracked independently with lot-level detail, eligibility screening at administration, and billing that reflects which supply was used, which is exactly what VFC program audits examine.
Can we bill a sick visit during a well-child exam?
Yes, when a significant separately identifiable problem is addressed and documented. The platform prompts for the additional E/M with modifier 25, capturing revenue that pediatric practices very commonly leave behind.
Do you report to state immunization registries?
Yes. Immunizations are submitted to state registries electronically through our interoperability services, satisfying reporting requirements without manual double entry.
