KidsCare

What is Swope Health KidsCare?

KidsCare is a new community-based program from Swope Health that brings our whole-person care directly to schools, early learning and daycare centers and your community. We’re removing barriers and making it easier for your kids to have access to quality healthcare in all forms – medical, behavioral health and dental.

How does it work?

KidsCare provides mobile healthcare services, and in some locations, onsite healthcare clinics. This means you can get your kids’ healthcare needs attended to while they’re at daycare or school. We can also offer telehealth visits and if necessary, in-person visits with your child at our Swope Health Pediatric Clinic or Swope Health satellite clinic.

What Does it Offer

Swope Health KidsCare gives you:

Evaluations and exams needed for school enrollment and to maintain your child’s health. This includes routine well-child care, immunizations, screenings for hearing and vision, lead testing and growth measurements.
Individual Healthcare Plans for your child’s asthma, food allergies and diet restrictions. Some schools require annual plans for management of medical conditions.
Routine dental exams and treatment: either through mobile dental unit visits at your child’s school or at a Swope Health Dental Clinic.
Assistance in obtaining healthcare Insurance (Medicaid)
Referrals for behavioral health services if needed
Referrals to a pediatric specialist if needed

Who Can Participate

Swope Health KidsCare has two programs: one for early childhood healthcare, from birth to age 5, and the second for school-age kids, up to 18.

What’s required to participate?

Once you sign up and are registered with Swope Health, you’re in. There’s no fee to register. When your child comes in for services of any kind, your child’s insurance will be billed. If your child doesn’t have insurance, we offer financial assistance based on rates adjusted to your income (and those rates may not require a co-pay).

How do I sign up?

EASY! Fill out the Swope Health KidsCare form on file in your school or daycare office. Ask your child’s school, childcare or early learning center if KidsCare is available at the site. Otherwise, any family can register for full services online, at Pediatrics, or a satellite clinic. Call (816) 599-5331 for more information.
