         2026 Insurance Update
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
    
          PPA Parents,
         &#xD;
  &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thank you for choosing our office for your healthcare needs. Beginning January 1, 2026, Pediatric Professional Association will no longer bill insurance plans for which we don’t have a contract or are out-of-network.  Patients covered by these plans will be required to make payment at the time of service.  We will provide an invoice for services provided which you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network benefits and any payment from them would be paid directly to you.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are not in-network with the following insurances including, but not limited to Multiplan, PHCS, Centivo, Detego, Imagine 360, SBMA, Medicaid, State Health Plans, KanCare, Ambetter, and Sunflower Health.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           We strongly encourage all patients to contact their insurance provider directly to confirm whether Pediatric Professional Association is in network with their plan prior to the next appointment. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you have any questions about your coverage status or self-pay rates, please contact us at 913-541-3320 or business@ppadocs.com.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thank you for your understanding and allowing us to care for your children.
          &#xD;

         Schedule Your Child’s Well Visit Before We’re Booked!
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/e219bec2/dms3rep/multi/child-eating-food-35545.jpg"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         As the school year winds down and summer activities ramp up, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks! Don’t let your child’s well visit be one of them!
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Now is the perfect time to schedule your child’s annual check-up. These visits are essential to ensure your child is growing and developing properly.They may also need updated immunizations or health forms for camps, sports, or school.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Avoid the last-minute rush at the end of summer when appointment slots fill up fast.
          &#xD;
    &lt;a href="tel:913-541-3300"&gt;&#xD;
      
           Call our front desk today and get your child’s well visit on the calendar.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          Let’s make sure they’re happy, healthy, and ready for all the fun ahead!
