Astoria, Queens

PediatricPlus is an independently-owned pediatric practice in Astoria, Queens, led by Dr. Indranil Gupta. With a patient mix of 40% private insurance and 60% Vaccines for Children (VFC) program participants, Dr. Gupta administers over 2,000 vaccines annually. Like many independent practices, managing the complexity of vaccine billing across different payer types was consuming valuable time and resources.

The Challenge

Before implementing Canid, Dr. Gupta faced a complex web of challenges that are all too familiar to pediatric practices handling both private and VFC vaccines. Each vaccine type came with its own set of hurdles:

Private Vaccines
High upfront costs for vaccine inventory with uncertain reimbursement timelines
Manual labor intensive billing and coding processes consuming staff hours
No guaranteed payments leading to revenue uncertainty and cash flow issues
VFC Vaccines
Compliance audits requiring meticulous documentation and tracking
Slow shipping times creating inventory management headaches
Borrowing between programs adding complexity and compliance risk
The Billing Bottleneck

Revenue was getting lost at every step of the traditional billing process:

See Patient
Finalize Notes
Code Claims
Monitor EOBs
Get Paid (60-90 days)

Dr. Gupta implemented Canid as a comprehensive end-to-end solution for all vaccine management and billing. The platform addressed each pain point with purpose-built features:
