Proud to be a part of Privia Medical Group

Effective immediately we are no longer accepting new Sunshine patients. Unfortunately, this will include newborns and siblings of our current patients. This decision was made regretfully after a long history of chronic underpayments by Sunshine Health and a failure to correct the underpayments after given ample opportunity to do so. At Pediatrics in Brevard our priority will always be the welfare of our patients and service to the children of our community, but as a privately owned business we rely on insurance companies to fulfill their contractual obligations with prompt and complete payments so that we can continue to offer quality medical care to all of our patients. If you or your children are affected by this policy, we apologize and encourage you to contact Sunshine Health at 1-866-796-0530 with your concerns.
New Paragraph

In the interest of improving convenience and making sure all of our patients are seen in a timely manner, we have now made online appointment scheduling available. In addition, all of our patients should receive a link for pre-registration prior to their scheduled appointment times, filling this form out will expedite the process of receiving you and ensure that you will see your provider with minimal wait time.
Dear Parents, Recently, Governor DeSantis has indicated his intention to try to eliminate vaccine mandates for children in Florida public schools. Pediatrics in Brevard strongly believes in the importance of vaccines to protect children from harmful infections and create a safe school environment for all children. We do not support attempts to roll back this very important public health policy because it would result in more hospitalizations and deaths of Florida children due to preventable diseases. We have no plans to change our vaccine policy at this time and will continue to educate parents and families on the need for public health measures such as immunization to protect every member of our community. The required school vaccinations have long been studied and shown to be safe and effective. We also believe that there are times when the public good should be prioritized over individual preference. Without this fundamental principle, humans would not be able to live peacefully in communities or societies. While there are exemptions and options for those who can not or will not accept vaccines, public health policies and mandates are needed to ensure the safety of everyone, especially our most vulnerable community members. Live Well, Pediatrics in Brevard
