How many home visits are there typically with Dr. Zasloff?
There are usually about four home visits during these first two months. This can vary depending on the family’s circumstances, and because Dr. Zasloff is the pediatrician for the baby, if the baby for example has a cold, we will of course schedule a visit for that as needed.
Does Tova health accept insurance plans?
Yes! We are in-network with most major insurance plans in the area. We bill all of our visits using standard billing codes.
Does Tova Health offer referrals, orders and labs?
Yes! We are a comprehensive medical practice. During our time together, we act as the pediatric primary care provider for the baby and provide maternal support for the mother.
How does the transition of care happen when the care with us is finishing up?
Families will plan to transition the care over to the pediatricians office for the 2 month old well baby visit. As we are getting close to completing our care together, we will fax all of the visit notes, birth paperwork, and anything else medically relevant to the pediatrician that will be taking over the care of the baby. We are happy to provide our families with excellent recommendations for local pediatric providers in the area.
Do families follow up with their OBGyn providers or midwives?
Yes. We absolutely recommend following up with your birth team as it is scheduled. We complement eachother’s care very well. We check-in on both baby and mom at each visit and address issues as they arise. While there are some issues related to the birth that are best addressed by the birthing team, we can treat many important fourth trimester issues such as milk supply concerns, breast infections, or postpartum mood concerns.
What are the weekly fourth trimester group visits?
We believe that community is really important during the fourth trimester! Each week Dr. Zasloff hosts a virtual group visit open to all of the families that are currently in the practice. It is an opportunity for local families to share how they are doing, ask questions and have discussions together.
