No. We only require a written referral from your PCP office to identify the diagnosis you are needing to be treated for. You will not need an insurance authorization.
Category: FAQ
If I have a HMO insurance plan, do I need to wait for authorization from my insurance?
Yes, most HMO plans require a referral from your PCP office PRIOR to seeing a specialist provider. Without this authorization, you would be considered Private Pay and responsible for all out-of-pocket costs.
Can I be seen without health insurance? What if you don’t accept my insurance?
If you do not have health insurance coverage, you are still welcome as a patient of ours. You will be considered “Private Pay” with our practice. Effective July 15, 2020, we now kindly require a credit card to be on file with our office so that your payment can be automatically drafted the day of or after your appointment. If you decline to place a credit card on file, you may pre-pay your visit in full prior to the appointment date. Please call our billing office to receive your estimate for services at (512)458-8400, option 6. For more detailed information click here.
