PM Pediatrics

What PM Pediatrics does

PM Pediatric Care, founded in 2005 and headquartered in New Hyde Park, New York, operates a multi-state pediatric healthcare platform delivering urgent care, telemedicine, and mental health services exclusively to children and young adults from birth through age 26. The company runs physical walk-in urgent care centers with extended hours and on-site X-ray across 14 U.S. states plus Washington D.C., complemented by a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform accessible via a native mobile application (iOS/Android) and desktop browser at pmtelemedicine.com. Mental health services include therapy, medication management, psychiatry, ADHD evaluation, DBT skills groups, executive functioning coaching, parent coaching, maternal mental health, and K-12 school-based programs delivered through partnerships with school districts. Additional technology assets include a patient portal for records, billing, and appointment management, plus a pediatrician referral portal and health system partnership programs.

The business model is service-fee based: PM Pediatric Care bills most major commercial insurance plans (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna/Evernorth, Emblem/GHI, Florida Blue, Healthfirst, Horizon BCBS, MVP, NYSHIP, Point Comfort, and others) and accepts Medicaid and TRICARE with $0 copays for those beneficiaries. Commercial telemedicine visits carry a $25 copay, while uninsured self-pay patients are billed at $100 prompt-pay rates for telemedicine visits. Mental health services follow insurance-based subscription-style recurring billing with self-pay alternatives and out-of-network options. The company has raised approximately $64M in disclosed funding across a 2014 round led by Scopia Capital and a June 2023 $50M Series E led by Scopia Capital and Jefferson River Capital, with capital earmarked for location expansion, primary care growth, behavioral health, virtual services, technology upgrades, and potential acquisitions.
