Congratulations!
All three of our doctors are currently accepting newborn patients.
Please see our Insurance and Billing page to make sure we accept your child's insurance. We do not take any of the MO State Health Plans or Medicaid.
If you would like to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Baszis or Dr. Kurtz, please call our office at 314-849-3320 to set up a time. Click Here for a checklist to get you thinking about the type of questions you can talk to the doctors about during your appointment.
Our doctors see newborns at Mercy South, Mercy, and Missouri Baptist within 24 hours of birth.
When you are admitted to the hospital, they will ask you who the baby's pediatrician will be;
they will contact our office when your child is born.
At the first hospital visit, the doctor will go over any questions you have and guide you on when to make your next appointment in the office, which is normally when the baby is 5 days old.
It is okay if you give birth at another area hospital - one of the pediatricians on staff will care for your newborn and just give us a call when you are discharged, and we will see the baby in our office within 24-48 hours.
During your first visit, you will have to fill out your baby's demographic information, insurance information, and parents' demographic information. You will also have to sign the consent to treat, financial responsibility, and HIPAA notification forms. We ask that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to give yourself ample time to fill out the initial visit forms. Please bring your insurance cards to scan into our system.
**Most insurance companies require you to enroll your baby within 30 days of being born.**
If you have any changes to make to your insurance or demographic information in the future,
please update the front desk upon checking in for your scheduled appointment.
Changes can also be emailed to socopeds@gmail.com
If you are paying your copay or any balances by credit or debit card,
you can pay directly on our system. We also accept personal checks and cash at the window.
Any copay required by your insurance company is due at time of service. No exceptions.
Please check out the other areas of the website and let us know if you have any questions!
