New patient intake packets by age
Learn about preparing your child for a medical appointment.
We do not evaluate patients in crisis. For immediate safety concerns, call 911 or your local emergency services provider team, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Health insurance
Many insurance companies require a referral or prior authorization for coverage of services. Read more about accepted health insurances at Boston Children’s Hospital and participation in these plans.
Requesting an evaluation
To request an evaluation and new patient intake packet, please visit the request an appointment page or call us at 617-355-7493.
A completed copy of our new patient intake packet is required in order to be added to our waiting list. The packets are also available above in PDF format. We also request copies of supporting documentation including:
- Any recent testing, including cognitive/psychological testing, and speech, occupational therapy, or physical therapy evaluations
- Records of any early intervention services or IEP/504 plans
- Past medical and diagnostic assessments
The intake packet and supporting documentation provides us with information about your child that will help make your visit more efficient and the evaluation more comprehensive.
