Your rights and protections against surprise medical bills

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Dr Vance explained everything clearly and concisely to me The whole process that would be done with the surgery on my back and my neck I felt 100% confident in him that I would be fine after the surgery in fact the next day I was walking and he came personally to see me because he was so excited that I was actually walking the surgery was a complete success I'm still recuperating now a little bit of pain here and there but I can feel everything's right and I got the full use of my legs now before the surgery I was completely paralyzed from the waist down I would highly recommend Dr Vance far above anybody else I've worked with thank you Dr ranch for your care
