Records Needed Before Clinical Review (5)
- ✓Comprehensive pediatric echocardiography reports with video clips, flow gradients, and shunt directions
- ✓Birth history records: Gestational age, birth weight, Apgar scores, neonatal resuscitation, and mechanical ventilation history
- ✓Previous surgical and cardiac catheterization records and operative notes
- ✓Whole-genome or exome sequencing raw FASTQ/VCF files and clinical genetic reports (for rare disease patients)
- ✓Growth charts, developmental milestones, and current feeding / medication regimen details
Practical Pathway Financial Scope (4 stages)
Where expenses occur across the pathway · figures are published reference rangesScope: Neonatal echocardiography, pediatric low-dose cardiac CTA, metabolic screening, and multi-specialty pediatric conference.
Financial Notes: Completed rapidly (1-2 days) upon arrival to confirm hemodynamic stability and surgical plan.
Scope: Open-heart corrective procedure with deep hypothermic bypass or living-donor liver transplantation surgery involving microvascular donor and recipient teams.
Financial Notes: Living-donor liver transplant involves dual surgeries (donor parent + recipient child).
Scope: Dedicated pediatric intensivist coverage, mechanical ventilation, nitric oxide pulmonary vasodilation, peritoneal dialysis if needed, and ECMO readiness.
Financial Notes: Pediatric ICU daily costs depend heavily on inotropic support and length of intubation (typically 3-7 days in uncomplicated cases).
Scope: Feeding re-establishment, wound healing, oral medication titration, and caregiver CPR/emergency training before discharge.
Financial Notes: Parent stays room-in with the child in VIP family wards; ensures safe transition for international flight.

Low birth weight, need for ECMO support, prolonged PICU stay, or severe postoperative infections can increase the total bill.
