           INSURANCE PLANS

We are participating with most of the health insurance plans in Austin.  If you have specific questions please call our office at 512-320-9915.

Please remember copayment is due at the time of service.  This is a requirement for insurance plans.
 We accept Cash, checks, VISA and Mastercard.               

An additional service fee will be added if copayment is not made at the the time of the visit.

Please call before your visit if special financial arrangements are needed.

Some insurance plans require a referral (pre authorization) in order to be seen by a specialist. We can help with this, but your primary care physician will need to file the referral. This is important because your insurance plan will hold you responsible for all  charges from the visit with us.
