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.

Dr. Brammeier, MD always takes the time to answer all of my questions and makes things easy to understand. He is able to work in my ears with very little to no pain, quickly and efficiently while he micro cleans the tubes, holes and airways. I also love that he can take care of my BPPV when it acts up in a visit and put my dizziness to rest. He is truly the best!

He reviewed my MRI and CT scans and went over them explaining what I feared might have been a cerebral fluid lead from a head injury. I had had an acoustic neuroma surgery many years ago but was concerned about the head injury knocking something loose! He showed me the scans and assured me everything was ok.
