UBCP Affiliation

Why are you partnering with UCSF?

In today’s environment of “big box” healthcare (Stanford, PAMF, Kaiser), it has become increasingly difficult for smaller practices to stay independent and continue to provide the personalized care our patients enjoy. Our partnership with UCSF provides stability and enhances our ability to provide premiere care in a personalized environment while maintaining our independence. This partnership will still allow us to remain an independent private practice.

Will there be new providers at the office?

No. Our providers and staff will remain the same.

What Insurance plans will you accept?

We will accept all of the plans we already accept and more! For a comprehensive list please visit our website. You can also call your insurance plan and confirm that you are in network with “Bay Children’s Physicians” Tax ID #47-1370520

How about billing?

As an affiliate of UCSF Benioff Children’s Physician (UBCP), any visit starting 1/11/2022 will be billed and statements will be sent via our new joint billing system. So for a short period of time you may be getting statements from our old billing system (for services rendered on and before 1/10/22) as well as our new billing system (for service provided on and after 1/11/22).

What do I need to do?

You will want to create a MyChart account ASAP (and be patient with us!). Please visit the UCSF Health website for further instruction. A MyChart account will allow you to:

• Send a message to the office staff or your provider
• Request Refills
• See lab results
• Receive post-visit summaries
