Insurance & Policy Information
New, Existing & Uninsured Arlington Patients
We are responsible for offering medical screening examinations to all of our patients, regardless of their ability to pay for the treatment. In case the screening exam depicts the patient is in danger or at risk of furthering serious complications, then our team is required to stabilize the patient immediately without putting their ability to pay for the treatment as a prime concern.
A 'medical emergency' involves; a medical condition consisting of severe pain that would allow a layperson having average knowledge of health and medicine to assume the condition, injury, or illness, is one that requires immediate medical attention and may cause one of the following life-threatening complications:
- Severe body impairments
- Putting the patient’s health in grave danger
- Serious organ dysfunction
- Critical disfigurement
- Harsh implications to the health of a fetus in pregnant women

Pricing Policies
PrimeCare Emergency Center and its physicians are out-of-network providers. Nevertheless, under both the Federal and Texas law, insurance companies are responsible for paying the patient’s in-network emergency services once the patient has paid for the plan that covers deductibles and co payments.
Consumer Liability
For any services available at PrimeCare Emergency Center, patients/guarantors are required to pay all charges associated with those services. We will gladly accept a patient’s verified insurance card at the time of service or when filing a claim on their behalf.
Insurance claims are usually filed within the 30 days of a patient’s visit. In case the patient’s insurance company hasn’t paid the claim within 90 days, then the patient/guarantor is required to pay all outstanding balances.
Statements
An itemized claim is generally filed on behalf of insured patients. Once your claim has been processed successfully, your insurance company is responsible for providing an itemized Explanation of Benefits. On the other hand, patients that paid in cash or are uninsured, you will be given an itemized statement of the charges.
- Copies of Records - If a third-party entity or a consumer asks for more than two copies of the medical records, we will charge an affordable fee for every extra copy after that.
