Nephrology
About Us
Renal specialists at CHKD provide the most advanced care for diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract, including prenatal diagnosis and postnatal management. Pediatric nephrologists work closely with CHKD's surgical specialists and Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in arranging for renal transplants and are committed to a comprehensive post-transplant patient care program.

Insurance and Referral Information
If you have an HMO, you must:
- Get a referral from your child's
primary care physician before you call to make an appointment.
- Make sure your referral has not expired. Many are good for only 30 days, so check yours before scheduling an appointment. If your referral has expired, call you
primary care physician and explain your situation. In most cases, your primary care physician will provide a new or extended referral.
- Bring the referral with you to the appointment. If you do not have a referral, or if the referral has expired, your HMO will not pay for your appointment.
If you have fee-for-service insurance or a PPO, you do not need a physician's referral to make an appointment.
We offer in-depth information about insurance in our
billing and insurance section.
