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.

He is the only doctor in BS&W that has much knowledge about treatment of scar tissue as a result of burns. I went through 38 doctor visits in 2022 to resolve calcium deposits in one leg. Through that process, no one could explain why these deposits formed. Dr Lance explained the cause in the first 10 minutes of our visit. He helped me understand other unique situations that I have never understood in the 70 years since I was burned.Dr. Lance also outlined a possible surgical procedure that may be used on the calcium in the other leg and some techniques that can help improve my wellbeing.

Extremely good at communication. He made my daughter feel comfortable by asking her feelings/thoughts about surgery. Then he proceeded to explain the surgical steps that would take place if she/we decided to get it done. My daughter felt at ease and confident about getting surgery. Great job. Thank you.

Dr. Lance took the time to listen to what I have been experiencing, he took the time to examine me and explain the steps of the process. Usually doctors are in a rush- quick in and out. Not doctor Lance. He was very attentive and informative.

Dr. Samuel was amazing and very reassuring that my daughters scar wont affect her. He privided helpful advice to help me care for her. Dr. Samuels Resident that came to the childrens hospital to do the stirches on my daughters face from a dog bite was AMAZING!! He was so patient and made the environment so calm and friendly that my 3 year old did not require sedation for the stitches. He did an absolute beautiful job putting in the stitches. Can barely tell she even has a scar. Thank you both for helping my daughter! You both are truly amazing!!
