How long should it usually take to get an appointment with a HIP participating physician?
We realize that when you decide to take your child to see a doctor, you would like an appointment right away. In emergencies or urgent situations, you can get appointments immediately or within 24 hours as needed. Because all doctors’ offices have to set priorities by level of urgency, please be patient when it takes a little longer to get an appointment for more routine care. And please try to call well in advance to schedule complete physical exams, which require a longer appointment than usual. Please also understand if the doctor is not ready to see your child right on time. Emergencies and urgent situations arise frequently for physicians, and even the best-planned schedules can be unavoidably disrupted as a result.
