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.

I'm new to Baylor Scott White and a new patient with Dr. Talhelm. I came to BSW Family Medicine for a skin condition which has been there for last 10 weeks. Dr. Talhem provided me with prescription and went out of his way to get me a referral (made 3 phone calls to 3 different ophthalmologists to help me with a referral for eye complication due to my health issue).

Everyone was nice and courteous. Only concern was the medical assistant that was working with me. She didn't know that a d&c was, and when I looked it up to tell her, I had to spell it out multiple times before she was able to type it into my chart correctly. I attribute that to possible language barrier and forget it, but later when she comes back to give me my Tdap shot, she asks me which arm I want it on and proceeds to start prepping the opposite arm until I reminded her. Very concerning.
