Although we are not currently affiliated nor participate with any in-network insurer, under the protection of federal and state laws, you are guaranteed coverage in an actual emergency.

Emergency Care Coverage
Texas State law requires insurance companies to pay for emergency care at the insured’s in-network benefit level.
Both federal and state laws recognize the “prudent layperson standard” in determining what the patient feels is an emergency.
Prudent Layperson Standard states the following:
The term “emergency medical condition” means a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that a prudent layperson, who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine, could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in:
- Placing the health of the individual (or, in the case of a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy.
- Serious impairment to bodily functions, or
- Severe dysfunction of any bodily organ or part
- Serious disfigurement

No Surprise Medical Bills!
We’ve got good news: the “No Surprises Act” took effect at the beginning of this year! Most unexpected medical charges from out-of-network providers are banned by this legislation, meaning you are now protected from surprise billing.
The protections will work similarly to those established by the state of Texas, and the new federal rules will apply to all private insurers, including those provided through the Affordable Care Act.
Insurance companies are also required to provide the same coverage regardless of whether you receive medical attention at an in-network or out-of-network facility.
