Dear Patients and Families,
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will be enforcing the following policies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 to our patients and medical staff.
- Two (2) parent/guardian present per scheduled patient.
No other siblings, parents/guardians, or extended family members allowed; additional parents/guardians can join via Facetime/Skype. - No more than 8 people in the waiting room at one time.
We ask that additional family members wait in their vehicle. - Anyone showing signs of coughing or cold/flu like symptoms will be asked to leave the clinic.
If the parent or patient is experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, the appointment will need to be rescheduled.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your family.
Sincerely,
The Physicians and Staff at PCCO
Pediatric Cardiology Center of Oregon Appointments
Please call our office as far in advance as possible to schedule your appointments.
Please call our office as far in advance as possible to schedule your appointments. This will make it easier to choose times that are most convenient for you and your family. PCCO schedulers can be reached at 503-280-3418. Please have your insurance card available when you call. We will ask for your insurance information upon registering your child for an appointment. If your insurance plan requires a referral, this must be sent to our office by your primary care provider/pediatrician’s office prior to scheduling an appointment.
Patients who walk into our clinic were referred by their primary care doctor or another specialist. Common reasons for referrals include:
Heart Murmurs
Syncope (fainting)
EKG or Echocardiogram Results requiring further Analysis/Consultation
Clearance for Sports Participation
We at Pediatric Cardiology Center of Oregon understand that many patients' families have questions or concerns regarding their child's first visit. Therefore, we have created informational outlines to help address these concerns and to help our staff provide the best patient care for your child.
Non Urgent and Follow-up Appointments
Non urgent and follow-up appointments can be made by calling our office Monday – Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. We currently do not schedule more than 6 months out for follow-up appointments. PLEASE have your insurance card available.
We do our best to accommodate our patients’ needs during an appointment. When requesting an appointment, please be as detailed as possible about your child and the reason that he/she is being referred so that we may reserve the appropriate amount of time with the most suitable cardiologist to give you and your child the best possible care. If your child has had previous cardiac testing (i.e. electrocardiogram (or EKG), echocardiogram, or chest x-ray) please inform us when scheduling the appointment as these results are useful to our cardiologists when they evaluate your child.
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please call the office at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule. A $50 Late Cancellation/No Show fee will be charged to you directly if less than 24-hour notice is given. We do understand that emergencies occur and are willing to discuss these situations upon cancellation to avoid charging you the $50 fee.
What you will need upon check-in
On the day of your appointment, please bring the following;
Current insurance card
Co-payment (if required)
You will be asked to verify all of the information that we have taken over the phone when scheduling the appointment. If any of this information has changed (i.e. phone numbers, address, primary care physician) we ask that you update us at the time of check-in as to help ensure that payment for your care is as smooth as possible.
