It will ask for your child's name and birth-date.

New families please, use the link below to sign-up. You will be presented with a clean form. Please have your insurance card available before you register. 

For returning families, this should not take more than a few minutes.  For new families, it may take a bit more. There are detailed instructions on the form, so please take the time to read the instructions.
