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. Baylor Scott & White Health does not manage the insurances accepted for this doctor. Please contact the office directly to confirm coverage.

Thankfully he was aware of my Hearing and Unfortunately he has a Voice that I can't really hear as he is very soft spoken but I am the one with hearing issues so it's me but he was fantastic, Informational, Caring, asked a Lot of questions so very thorough. My Wife came as my hearing aides are Back Up Units and she and I can communicate just fine. We both liked the Dr.!

I have many health problems, including COPD for which I see Dr. Heidbrink. I find him the best doctor I've ever seen. Listens to you. He sits and looks at you and listens where other doctors will turn to their computer and try to hurry you out of the room. He never does that.
