Any questions regarding insurance or billing can be referred to our Billing Hot-Line at 978-624-2896.

North Shore Pediatrics is a completely electronic practice with a fully integrated scheduling, billing and medical record system, allowing our providers to easily access your child's medical history in either office.

Appointments

Appointments for physical and non-emergent routine care can be booked as much as 6 months in advance.  To book an appointment of this type, please call our office in Danvers at 978-406-4234.

Appointments for Sick Visits and Emergencies can be booked on the day of service.  Our telephone lines are open at 8:00 AM and the staff will be happy to arrange an appointment for your child to be seen as soon as possible.  It is our goal to see all sick children on a same day basis. Our offices are also open for sick and emergency visits from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. 

Calls for appointments and Sick Visits after hours will be referred to our answering service and a triage nurse.  In emergency situations after hours, please utilize the 911 system or report to your nearest Emergency Room.

We request that you provide our office with 24 hours notice if you need to cancel an appointment.  Appointments that are not cancelled 24 hours in advance and "No-Shows," may result in you being billed a fee for the visit.

Referrals

In order to expedite your care, NSP has set up a Referral Line and Coordinator to assist you.  You can reach our Referral Line at 978-777-3908.

Nurse Triage

Because we understand that you may have questions that do not need a visit, NSP has a nurse triage system where you can get advice from one of our experienced nurses.  If you would like to speak to a triage nurse, please contact our office.  Our nurses will let you know if they determine an appointment should be made with one of our providers.
