Pediatric Council
Chapter pediatric councils are forums whereby pediatricians meet with health plan medical directors to discuss carrier policies and administrative practices affecting access to, quality of, coverage of, and payment for pediatric services.
The WCAAP Pediatric Council was started in 2008. We have had excellent attendance with private insurers, Tricare and Medicaid participating.
Topics discussed include:
Universal Purchase of Vaccines
