The best place to start is the Consultation Request page.
If your child becomes sick at school and the school nurse thinks he/she needs to see a doctor, the nurse can arrange for your child to see a doctor through TeleKidcare®. The school nurse will be present during the visit to explain your child’s symptoms to the doctor. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend the visit, if possible. For medical concerns, your child can typically be seen within 24 hours. For behavioral concerns, your child can typically be seen within 3-5 weeks.
The best way to obtain TeleKidcare® services for your community is to submit a complete Request for Proposal (RFP) application for the Kansas TeleKidcare® Expansion project. The RFPs are generally due December 1 of each year. The RFPs do not require a lengthy narrative. However, strong community support and vision must be apparent. Once a community’s submitted application is selected for funding, staff from the KUCTT will work closely with the community members, school district personnel, and local health care providers to organize and establish the project.
Doctors can diagnose ear, nose, and throat (ENT) problems, minor eye infections, common skin irritations, and asthma. Furthermore, doctors can diagnose behavioral problems like ADHD or depression.
Currently, there is no cost for your child to use TeleKidcare®. A billing system for the project will be in place within the next couple of years.
