General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Fibromyalgia
• Emergency Care
  When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.

Gynecologists

• Labor and Delivery
  Age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status, genetic information (including familial genetic information).

Radiologist

• MRI
  Magnetic resonance imaging. A diagnostic imaging test. MRI clearly images soft tissues such as the intervertebral disc and neural structures as well as bones. A very sensitive and specific spinal imaging test.
• Radiology
  When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
• Computed Tomography
  Computerized tomography. A diagnostic imaging test. In CT scanning, X-rays are employed to generate cross-sectional images. The high-resolution CT scan provides excellent viewing of bones and bone spaces. CT scanning does not image soft tissues as well. Also known as a CAT scan.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  With age, the center of vertebral discs may start to lose water content, making the disc less effective as a cushion and allowing the disc’s center to fragment. The fragments can then displace through a crack in the outer layer of the disc. When one of these fragments of the center of the disc has moved into the outer fibers of the disc or beyond, it is considered herniated or ruptured. Most disc herniations in the lumbar spine occur in the bottom two discs, just below the waist. A herniated disc may cause back pain or, more commonly, can press on a nerve root in the spinal canal causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness of the leg called “sciatica.” Also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, or herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). Also commonly occurs in the neck (resulting in arm pain or weakness) and rarely in the thoracic portion of the spine.
• Whiplash
  Commonly referred to as “neck sprain or strain,” although symptoms may have other causes. Common in car accidents. Soft tissue injury to the neck.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  The world-renowned surgeons at Texas Back Institute in the Dallas area have practiced minimally invasive cervical and lumbar spine surgery since the 1990s. Since our founding in 1977, we’ve focused intently on developing surgical techniques that produce the best possible outcomes for our patients and their families. When we talk about minimally invasive surgery, it’s not just a buzzword; it accomplishes the task through small incisions, causing less trauma to the muscles. It makes a difference in our patients’ lives, reducing recovery time and complications
