Requirements for Enrollment in the Pediatric Complex Care Program

Following are requirements for enrollment in the program. We make exceptions depending on your child's situation.

• Age under 15 years at enrollment. We follow enrolled patients for years after that but generally do not take patients who will soon transition to adult care.
• Receiving care from a primary care physician with whom we can partner. We do not replace the primary care physician
• A lifelong chronic illness that is not expected to go away and that will require ongoing care
• One hospital admission of 10 days or more, or one ICU admission
• Involvement with at least four subspecialty providers or care teams
• Not under care of a team dedicated to your child's illness, such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, sickle cell disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
• Dependent on a technology for ongoing care 

Our team will see your child in two-hour quarterly outpatient visits, which include time with a pediatrician, pharmacist, social worker and case manager. In these visits we focus on how your child’s unique health challenges affect other areas of their life.
