How do I enroll my child/children?

An enrollment form will need to be completed to register your children with the health center. Enrollment forms can be found on the ConnextCare website at www.connextcare.org, at school offices, or the SBHC located within Leighton Elementary School, . Should assistance be needed in completing or locating forms, we will be happy to help!

What is the cost to me?

There is no cost to you for services performed at the SBHC. We bill most insurances and we accept what we receive as payment in full. You are not responsible for co-pays, deductibles or balances.

What costs am I responsible for?

While most routine services performed at the SBHC are at no cost to you, there are some services offered that you would be financially responsible for, should they be recommended for your child.

These services will only be done with your permission:

• Prescriptions
