For families with commercial insurance, most visits cost the same as an in-person clinic visit. Your service will be billed to your insurance.

What if my child needs additional care after the SchoolMed visit?
Our providers are trained to assess the child and provide medical triage quickly. If necessary, Goodside Health can make a referral to your doctor, a specialist, or the Emergency Room.
I have other children not enrolled in the school district. Can they have a SchoolMed visit?
SchoolMed visits are available to all students and staff that are registered with the program. If your child isn’t enrolled at the school, they are not eligible for a SchoolMed visit.
