How does this in home newborn experience actually work?
As a member of Frontier Pediatric Care, when your new baby arrives the hospital will let us know and we'll come see the baby each day you're in the hospital.
When you go home, we'll arrange for your first visit in your home the next day or day after.
Why not just bring baby to the office?
If you prefer, you are more than welcome to come in for newborn visits in our office!
Many parents find it a bit stressful to pack the diaper bag, get baby fed, and get to the office on time. We are happy to help make the newborn period as low stress as possible by coming to your home to see your baby, answer your questions, and make sure things are going as planned.
How much does it cost?
There's no additional fee for in-home newborn visits.
Our practice is based on a monthly membership model. Your membership fee covers newborn care, sick visits, check-ups, and vaccines. We don't take insurance but you can pay with your FSA, HSA, credit card or check.
What visits are included?
When your baby is born, Dr. Boucher will come to the hospital and see your baby each day (on weekends, the pediatric hospitalist team rounds on babies). When you go home from the hospital, we'll schedule your newborn in-home visits which include
- First newborn visit (1-2 days after hospital discharge)
- Two week check-up
In between these visits, we're available for text messaging, telemedicine visits, and in-office visits at no charge. We have a 24/7 nurse triage line for after-hours questions so you never have to worry about not being able to speak to someone about your concerns.
How do I sign up?
If you're ready to sign-up, we recommend a new baby meet & greet with Dr. Boucher to learn more about your family. You can book that (virtual or in person) free appointment here.
If you'd rather skip the meet & greet, simply text us at (402) 817-2116 and our team will take care of getting you registered.
We only have four spots per month for new babies. If you are interested, please reach out sooner than later so we don't run out of room for your little one's arrival!
What if we are interested in the in-home visits but aren't sure on the ongoing monthly memberhsip?
We might be able to help! We have a limited number of spots available for fourth-trimester packages. You receive the exact same experience (hospital visits, in-home visits, text messaging etc.) but for the first three months (the fourth trimester). After three months, we'll send all your information to the office where you plan to continue your pediatric care.
Any distance restrictions?
We see patients throughout Lincoln and the surrounding area. As much as we'd like to visit your home outside of Lincoln, it often isn't feasible with our clinic schedule. If you live within ~20 minutes of our office, we are happy to come to your home!
We see patients in our office that live as far as 90 minutes away, so if you aren't in one of these zip codes we are still happy to see you and feel our services are worth the drive!
