Urgent Care Accepting Medicare Accepted in Kingwood TX

At Kingwood Urgent Care, we are pleased to accept Original Medicare, which means that if you are enrolled in traditional Medicare Part A and Part B, you can receive care at our clinic. We also participate with a variety of Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans, which are offered by private insurance companies and may have their own provider networks and coverage rules.

Since each Medicare Advantage plan is different, we encourage you to contact Kingwood Urgent Care with the name of your Medicare Advantage plan. Our team and knowledgeable staff will verify whether we are in-network with your specific plan and explain any referral or authorization requirements that may apply.

If you have questions about your coverage or need help understanding your benefits, please don’t hesitate to call or visit Kingwood Urgent Care. We are here to help you get the care you need.

At Kingwood Urgent Care, we understand how important it is for Medicare patients to know whether their visits and treatments will be covered. Our practice is committed to making your healthcare experience as smooth as possible.

Whether Kingwood Urgent Care is considered “in-network” for Medicare patients depends on our current enrollment and participation status with Medicare. As a Medicare “participating” provider, Kingwood Urgent Care has signed an agreement with Medicare and accepts Medicare’s approved amount as full payment for covered services. This means that if you are a Medicare patient, you can receive care at our clinic and your services will be covered according to Medicare’s rules, with you responsible only for the applicable deductible, coinsurance, or copayments.

Some urgent care providers may be “non-participating” or may have opted out of Medicare, which can affect your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses. For this reason, we recommend that all Medicare patients contact our office directly to confirm our Medicare status and ensure that we are currently accepting Medicare and considered in-network for your plan. Our staff is happy to answer your questions and help you understand your coverage before your visit.

If you are a Medicare beneficiary and planning a visit to Kingwood Urgent Care, it’s important to understand the potential out-of-pocket costs associated with your care. The amount you are responsible for will depend on your specific Medicare coverage and the services you receive.

Medicare Part A and Urgent Care
Medicare Part A mainly covers hospital stays. Since Kingwood Urgent Care provides outpatient services rather than inpatient hospital care, Part A typically does not apply to your urgent care visit.

Medicare Part B and Kingwood Urgent Care
Most services at Kingwood Urgent Care will be billed under Medicare Part B, which covers doctor visits and outpatient care. In 2024, you are responsible for a $240 annual deductible. After meeting this deductible, you generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for services you receive at Kingwood Urgent Care. This is called coinsurance.

Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Prescription Plans (Part D)
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), your costs for urgent care visits at Kingwood Urgent Care may differ from standard Medicare. These plans often have specific copayments, coinsurance, and annual out-of-pocket maximums. The exact amount you pay will depend on your plan, so we recommend checking your plan’s summary of benefits or contacting your plan provider before your visit.

If you require any prescriptions as part of your treatment, your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plan will determine your medication costs. These costs can vary based on the medication, deductible, and your plan’s formulary.

We encourage all our Medicare patients to review their plan details or speak directly with a Medicare representative to fully understand their potential out-of-pocket costs before visiting Kingwood Urgent Care. Costs can change yearly and may vary based on the service and your individual coverage.
