Accepting commercial insurance means increased costs (staff, equipment, software, and time) and decreased time for your needs. 

-- Moreover, it causes you more pain:

-- Surprise billing for non-covered costs

-- Hundreds to thousands in out-of-pocket expenses

-- Delays in care.

Our experience shows that you are happier and you get better care if we avoid the insurance company altogether

NO

Serious accidents and medical situations happen. In those cases, you will still need insurance in order to cover:

-- ER Visits

-- Hospitalizations

-- Many specialist visits

-- Outpatient procedures (colonoscopies, sleep studies, etc). 

-- Medications 

​

Nowadays, there are options other than traditional insurance.  

Our friends at Ochna Health (in Georgetown, TX) were kind enough to put together this helpful guide to what are called Health Sharing plans.

These are non-insurance based groups that agree to cover medical costs (subject to clear rules). My own family is covered by one of these plans, and depending upon your family’s situation, these can be a great choice for catastrophic care.

Note: Code 1 Concierge Care is not affiliated with these organizations.

A CRAZY FACT ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE

​-------------------------------------------------

❗️Using your insurance is like constantly using your auto insurance. Eventually, your rates will increase. ​​

1️⃣ Decide if you want to pay cash or use your insurance for labs.

2️⃣ Cash labs:

-- We will draw the labs in our clinic

-- It is fast, comfortable, and usually much cheaper than using your insurance or a commercial lab.

3️⃣ Insurance labs:

-- We’ll fax an order to whichever CPL lab location is closest to you. 

-- When you’re ready, go to that lab and have your labs drawn. 

-- We email or call you with the results within 2-3 days of receiving them

Orders for these studies can be sent to any Austin Radiological Association center or any other radiology center that you choose.

✅ There is always a cash-based option, even at ARA.

✅ You can use your insurance if you desire.

Code 1 Concierge physicians can refer to specialists like any other doctor.

⚠️ Some HMO insurance plans require that you have this referral/order sent by your HMO primary care doctor. If that's the case for you, let us know and we can work to make that as painless as possible.
