Open 24 hours

What to bring

Bring medication list, allergies, diagnosis list, specialist names, recent discharge papers, insurance card, and parent/guardian ID if safe and practical.

Do not delay emergency care: If symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than waiting for portal messages, appointment scheduling, or online advice.

Appointments, referrals, scheduling, and pediatric specialist visits

Many pediatric specialty visits require the correct provider, location, referral, authorization, and prior records.

Find the right pediatric specialty. Use the Atlantic Health children’s health page or Physician Referral Service to identify the right specialty, such as pediatric cardiology, neurology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, surgery, hematology/oncology, or developmental care.
Call Central Scheduling or the specialty office. For many hospital services, call 1-844-264-2250. Some specialty practices schedule directly through Atlantic Medical Group or the individual clinic.
Ask about referral and authorization. Pediatric specialists, imaging, procedures, surgery, and hospital-based care may require insurance referral, prior authorization, or a physician order.
Transfer records before the visit. Send prior notes, lab results, imaging, medication list, discharge summaries, and school or therapy documents when relevant.
Confirm the exact building and floor. Goryeb, Morristown Medical Center, outpatient specialty offices, imaging locations, and physician practices may have different entrances and parking instructions.
Parent checklist: Before the appointment, ask “Which exact location, entrance, floor, provider, arrival time, forms, referral, and records are needed?”

PICU, inpatient care, child life, meals, and family-centered support

Hospital stays are easier when families understand rounds, communication, meals, visitors, and discharge steps.

15-bed PICU

Atlantic Health identifies Goryeb’s Joan and Edward Foley Pediatric Intensive Care Unit as a 15-bed unit for serious pediatric needs, including postoperative care after major procedures.

Family-centered care

Atlantic Health describes a family-centered approach where care teams work in partnership with parents, guardians, and families.

Hospital stay support

Hospital resources can include child life, interpretation, spiritual care, pharmacy services, meals, dining options, and patient safety resources.

Discharge planning

Before discharge, ask for medication changes, activity limits, school notes, follow-up visits, wound care, warning signs, and who to call after hours.

Rounds question list: “What changed overnight? What are today’s goals? What tests are pending? What needs to happen before discharge? What should we watch for at home?”

Visitor information, parent support, language help, and patient rights

Visitor and support-person rules can vary by unit, season, infection status, and patient condition.

Visitor rules
Review current Atlantic Health visitor restrictions and the Goryeb location page before visiting. Some units may have special rules.
Parent or guardian role
For pediatric patients, parents and guardians are essential partners. Ask the unit about overnight stay rules and support-person rules.
Patient relations
For Morristown Medical Center patient-rights questions, the listed Patient Relations number is 973-971-5142.
Language assistance
Atlantic Health patient rights include interpreter services when needed to communicate with hospital personnel.
Do not visit when sick
If you have fever, cough, flu-like symptoms, vomiting, rash, or exposure concerns, call the unit before visiting.
Before visiting a child: Confirm the room/unit, visitor age limits, badge or check-in rules, isolation precautions, ICU rules, and whether flowers, food, or gifts are allowed.

Atlantic Health MyChart for Goryeb patients and families

MyChart is Atlantic Health’s secure patient portal for many records, appointment, billing, and care-team functions.

Portal features

Atlantic Health says MyChart can help patients safely message providers, schedule appointments, refill prescriptions, access medical records, view test results, and pay hospital bills.

Proxy access

Parents and legal guardians should ask about pediatric proxy access because access can depend on the child’s age, legal authority, and privacy rules.

Billing alerts

MyChart can support hospital bill pay and text updates for payment reminders and balance information.

Support line

For MyChart technical support, call 1-800-205-9911.

Urgent-care rule: Do not use MyChart messages for emergency symptoms. For severe symptoms, call 911 or use the pediatric emergency department.

Medical records, MyChart access, and official copies

Use MyChart for convenient access when available, and use written medical-record requests when official copies are required.

Check MyChart first for viewable records. MyChart may show visit summaries, test results, appointment details, and parts of the medical record.
Request official records when needed. For school, specialists, legal, insurance, disability, or agency needs, ask for an official medical-record release.
Ask about parent or guardian authority. Pediatric records may require parent/guardian identification, proxy authorization, or special handling for teens.
Be specific about the record type. Ask for discharge summary, ED report, operative report, labs, imaging reports, clinic notes, vaccine records, consult notes, or the full chart.
Allow processing time. Patient-rights information says medical-record copies must be provided within 30 days after a written request to the hospital, subject to applicable rules.
Record request tip: Include patient name, date of birth, date range, facility, requested documents, delivery method, parent/guardian contact, and recipient information.

Billing, insurance, estimates, and separate charges

Pediatric hospital care can involve hospital charges plus separate professional charges from physicians, anesthesiology, radiology, pathology, or specialists.

Billing topic What to know Action step
Hospital bill support Atlantic Health lists hospital bill-pay customer service at 1-833-899-0028. Call for hospital bill questions, payment plans, itemized bills, or account review.
MyChart bill pay Atlantic Health says MyChart can be used for hospital bill payment and billing updates. Use MyChart for online payment if your account is connected.
Insurance processing Atlantic Health says insurance carriers commonly take 30 to 45 days to process claims, and families should compare hospital and insurance statements. Call your insurer if you do not see claim activity or if a claim is denied.
Pre-authorization Scheduled hospitalizations, procedures, surgery, imaging, and other services may require insurance pre-certification or pre-authorization. Ask your insurance plan and provider office what must be approved before care.
Separate physician bills Atlantic Health notes that hospital bills may not include physician fees and that separate bills may come from providers interpreting tests or performing services. Ask whether anesthesiology, radiology, pathology, physician, or specialist charges are billed separately.
Exchange plans Atlantic Health says all Atlantic Health hospitals, including Goryeb Children’s Hospital, participate in select Health Care Exchange insurance plans. Verify plan network, preferred-provider requirements, referral rules, and out-of-pocket cost before scheduled care.
Insurance caution: A scheduled appointment does not guarantee full insurance coverage. Confirm network status, authorization, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and facility charges before non-emergency care.

Financial assistance, charity care, and payment support

Ask for help early if a pediatric hospital bill is confusing or unaffordable.

Financial assistance

Atlantic Health states that no one is denied medically necessary care due to inability to pay and that financial assistance is available through programs for eligible low-income, uninsured, and underinsured patients.

Application help

Atlantic Health financial assistance guidance lists a phone number for questions and applications. Call the billing or financial counseling team before a balance becomes overdue.

Separate charges

Financial assistance may not apply to all separate physician, anesthesiology, radiology interpretation, or outpatient prescription charges.

Good faith estimates

For certain scheduled self-pay or uninsured services, ask about estimates, price transparency, and written cost information before the visit.

Billing script: “My child received care at Goryeb Children’s Hospital on ____. Can you explain the charges, send an itemized statement, confirm insurance processing, and tell me whether financial assistance or a payment plan is available?”
