KidCare Anywhere

This service is currently available on a limited basis for participants in Children’s Mercy Pediatric Care Network who’ve been provided an access code.

KidCare Anywhere offers you access to a Children’s Mercy pediatric provider in minutes via smartphone, tablet or computer to help treat your child’s non-emergency conditions. Providers can discuss, provide guidance, and often treat your child’s minor ailments and illnesses from the comfort of your own home — or anywhere — offering you a convenient solution from experts who specialize in treating children. In fact, Children’s has been repeatedly recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals.”

· Available 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week

· Be seen by a Children’s Mercy pediatric provider

· Available via smartphone, tablet or computer for video appointments

· Little to no waiting, often seeing a provider in minutes
