1. You call and book a consultation.
No referral needed from another doctor — call us directly at 210-405-1335, or book online.
For anyone whose first question is “will my insurance cover this?”
Most of what we do is covered by insurance. We check yours for free.
We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and we’re in-network with most of them. Before any procedure we run a complimentary benefits check — usually with answers for you on the day of your consultation. And if your plan doesn’t cover what you need, we’ll show you the options.
How it works here
Three steps. You decide at the end, not the start.
2. We run a complimentary benefits check.
Once your consultation is booked, our team checks your specific plan — at no cost to you, and before you ever come in. Usually we have your benefits for the treatment you’re interested in ready on the day of your consultation. We also check whether your plan requires a referral or prior authorization for treatment itself, and help you get it if it does.
3. You decide with real answers.
You’ll know where your plan stands before you commit to anything — and if your plan doesn’t cover the procedure, or leaves you with more than you can pay at once, we’ll walk you through the payment options below. No surprises.

Don’t see your plan? Call anyway. This is the short list, not the whole list — we accept most plans. And being on this list isn’t the same as knowing what your plan covers for your procedure — that’s exactly what the complimentary benefits check is for. Call 210-405-1335 to book a consultation, and we’ll have your benefits ready when you come in.

Paying for your care
Cost doesn’t have to be the thing that stops you.
We offer financing for patients who don’t have coverage for a particular procedure — and for patients who do have coverage, but face a higher deductible or coinsurance than they can pay all at once. Either way, here are the ways to spread it out.
Affirm — pay over time
Fixed monthly payments instead of one bill. You apply directly with Affirm and see your terms before you commit to anything — no surprises there either.
CareCredit — a health-care credit card
Accepted here and at many other practices. Apply once, then use it for treatment your plan won’t cover — or for the deductible and coinsurance it leaves you.
In-house payment arrangements
Prefer to work it out with us directly? We offer payment arrangements through the practice — no third party. Ask our team what we can set up for your situation.
Affirm and CareCredit are independent lenders. Applications, approval, and terms are handled by them, not by our office — we simply accept them as payment. Affirm and CareCredit are trademarks of their respective owners.
Straight answers
Questions patients actually ask.
“Do you take my insurance?”
Most likely — we accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. The plans we see most often are listed above, and that list isn’t exhaustive. Book a consultation and we’ll have your benefits ready when you arrive.
“Do you take Medicare?”
Yes. Medicare covers almost everything we do. The complimentary benefits check confirms your specific coverage.
“Do you take Medicaid?”
Yes, for most of our procedures. The benefits check confirms it for your specific plan.
“When do I find out what my insurance covers?”
Usually on the day of your consultation. Once your visit is booked we run a complimentary benefits check, so in most cases we can tell you your benefits for the treatment you’re interested in while you’re still in the office.
“Do I need a referral?”
Not for your initial consultation — call us directly. If your plan requires a referral or prior authorization for treatment itself, we’ll identify that during the benefits check and help you get it.
“What if my plan doesn’t cover the procedure I need?”
Then you’ll know that before any procedure — not after. We’ll tell you transparently where your plan stands, and we offer financing through Affirm and CareCredit as well as in-house payment arrangements. The decision stays yours.
“Do you offer financing or payment plans?”
Yes — and not only for procedures insurance won’t cover. We offer Affirm and CareCredit, plus payment arrangements directly through the practice, for patients without coverage and for patients whose deductible or coinsurance is more than they can pay at once.
Free patient guide
Not ready to call? Take the guide instead.

Schedule your consultation. We’ll have your benefits ready when you get here.
Call us directly, or send this form and we’ll call you to schedule.

No surprises.
