      What is pediatric growth hormone deficiency?    

      Pediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD) happens when a child’s body doesn’t make enough growth hormone. This hormone is important because it helps children grow taller and develop healthy muscles and bones. Without enough of it, kids might grow slower than other children their age. Growth hormone deficiency can be present from birth or develop later. It is considered a rare condition and can sometimes be linked to other health problems. While they may be smaller in size compared to their peers, with the right treatment and care, many kids with GHD can achieve typical growth patterns over time.  

      Which doctors treat pediatric growth hormone deficiency?  

      If a child has growth hormone deficiency, they will usually be treated by a pediatric endocrinologist. These doctors specialize in children’s hormone-related conditions, including growth problems. A pediatrician might notice the child’s slow growth and refer them to the endocrinologist for further testing and treatment. The endocrinologist will monitor the child’s growth and hormone levels to determine the best course of action. Other healthcare providers, such as a nutritionist or physical therapist, might be involved in the child’s care to ensure their overall health and development are on track. 

      How is pediatric growth hormone deficiency treated?  

      The main treatment for pediatric growth hormone deficiency is growth hormone therapy. This involves giving the child injections of synthetic growth hormone, which helps them grow at a normal rate. The injections are usually given daily by family at home and continue for several years until the child reaches their final height. Pediatricians can prescribe growth hormone, but it’s often a pediatric endocrinologist who manages the treatment. Doctors will carefully monitor the child’s growth progress and adjust the dosage as needed.  

      Does health insurance cover growth hormone therapy for kids?   

      In many cases, health insurance does cover growth hormone therapy for children, but it can depend on the specific plan. Insurance companies usually require detailed medical evidence, such as tests showing a child’s growth hormone deficiency. Sometimes, they might also need proof that other treatments haven’t worked. The child’s doctor will likely need to submit paperwork showing why growth hormone therapy is necessary. Even if insurance covers the treatment, there may still be out-of-pocket costs, like co-pays or deductibles, that families need to consider. 

      When should I see a Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor in Tennessee, US?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor in Tennessee, US?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctors in Tennessee, US?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctors in Tennessee, US?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor in Tennessee, US?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor in Tennessee, US?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctors in Tennessee, US?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
