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.

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. Baylor Scott & White Health does not manage the insurances accepted for this doctor.

This was my first visit/consultation. I was first impressed/thankful that the Dr. Office fit me in so quickly, with short notice, due to an acute pain issue. There was a winter storm the day of my appointment, many other offices had closed and I was very worried they would close too, but the Doctor and staff stayed that day, I am so grateful. Dr. Howton was kind, compassionate, patient, and sincerely listened to me and heard me regarding my issue/concerns. I am finally feeling hopeful about having my issues resolved. Thank you to Dr. Howton and his wonderful staff.
