New Services at MedPeds
Exciting News for our Patients with Diabetes
MedPeds will be offering a Diabetes education program taught by our Nurse Practitioners. The course is designed to be fun, engaging, and interactive. The class will help you better understand behaviors associated with effective diabetes self-management. You’ll also learn many tips to help you stay healthy, from eating right to getting the appropriate amount of exercise.
Patients are generally referred to the group by their primary care physician. The group is led by two of our nurse practitioners, Meagan Lopes and Kathryn Penn and meets every other week for 2 months (a total of 4 visits). Group visits are generally covered by most insurance companies as would any other office visit. If you are a diabetic patient who is having difficulty managing your disease, ask your doctor if this group might be for you. We look forward to helping you on your Journey for Control.
"Meet and Greet" Visits for Expectant Parents
If you are expecting a baby, you can now schedule an appointment to "meet and greet" with one of our caring and friendly providers at no cost to you. Simply call our office at 301-498-8880 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to meeting you (and your new baby!).
Health Information Exchange
Imagine… You have a bad infection and go to an emergency room. You are allergic to several antibiotics but cannot remember which ones. Wouldn’t you want the emergency room physicians treating you to know?
Health Information Exchange (HIE), is a way of sharing health information among doctor’s offices, hospitals, labs, radiology centers, and other health organizations. In Maryland, CRISP (Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients) is responsible for developing and maintaining the HIE. The system allows doctors and nurses treating you, in a hospital or doctor’s office, to access your medical history, current medications and allergies. Social Security numbers, insurance and other non-medical information is not shared. Having medical information available when needed can save lives and save you from having unnecessary or costly services.
CRISP follows all State and Federal laws to protect patient information. If you wish to opt out of the CRISP HIE, use the link below or call CRISP at 1-877-95-CRISP.
