Guide to Signing Up Children for Pediatric Memberships

This guide walks parents and caregivers through the process of enrolling children into a Pediatric Membership. The caregiver will have access to the child’s chart and will also be the payer for all registered members under the membership.

Step 1: Access the Enrollment Link

Navigate to the enrollment link provided by the practice or access it from the practice's website.

Step 2: Enter Caregiver Information First

1. On Step 1 of the enrollment form, enter your own information first as the caregiver or parent. The parent or caregiver who enrolls first must be 16 or older.
2. Toggle ON the option: "I am enrolling others, but not myself."
   • This ensures that a patient chart is created for the caregiver/parent, but they are not included in the membership charge calculation.

Important: Do NOT enter the child’s information first.

Step 3: Add Each Child

1. After entering your caregiver/parent details, proceed to add each child one by one.
2. The system will automatically assign each child to the appropriate membership seat based on the age rules set by the practice.
3. For each child, toggle ON the option: "[Parent’s name] is the assigned caregiver."
   • The system automatically turns this toggle on for any member under 16. For members under 14, it stays on and can't be turned off.

Step 4: Continue Registration

1. Select a Care Provider
   • Choose a care provider from the available options.
2. Select Membership Start Date & Complete Payment
   • Choose the membership start date.
   • Enter a payment method.
   • Accept all practice terms and agreements.

Step 5: Registration Completion & Access to SigmaMD

• After successful registration, the caregiver/parent and all children will have their patient charts created.
• The caregiver/parent will receive an email with a registration code to sign up for the SigmaMD Patient Mobile App.
• Through the app, the caregiver/parent can access all linked child patient records.
• Children are registered to the membership, but the caregiver/parent is NOT—they are only set as the payer for the membership.
