aware of the emotional support a family receives from a simple “hello” from their primary physician. We are sensitive to the physician-to-patient relationship and encourage families to return to their primary physician after treatment. Our team will continue to work with the referring physician after treatment with any support needed to ensure the highest level of patient care. Transport MEDUCARE is MUSC’s highly skilled and dedicated pediatric and neonatal transport team. They are available around the clock to transport patients from referring hospitals who need immediate medical intervention. Depending on the needs of the child, MEDCUARE arranges emergency medical transportation using its own hospital based on site helicopter, fixed wing airplane or ground ambulance services. All transportation modes function as mobile intensive care units with much of the same equipment as that in our PCICU. The transport team is pediatric –trained and equipped, providing child-specific care during transport. It is often possible for a parent to travel with their child. Insurance and Financial Information The Children’s Hospital is dedicated to working with health insurance providers and other payers to offer convenient hassle-free access to our premier Heart Program. |
