Insurance
No Surprise Medical Bills!
We’ve got good news: the “No Surprises Act” took effect at the beginning of this year! Most unexpected medical charges from out-of-network providers are banned by this legislation, meaning you are now protected from surprise billing.
The protections will work similarly to those established by the state of Texas, and the new federal rules will apply to all private insurers, including those provided through the Affordable Care Act.
Insurance companies are also required to provide the same coverage regardless of whether you receive medical attention at an in-network or out-of-network facility.

Real Life Patient Stories
“Been here twice within the last two weeks. Excellent service from the office personnel to the medical staff. Great bedside manner and medical care. Such a wonderful professional group. Would highly recommend this medical facility.”
“I was in a coughing fit, and it was 3 a.m. My husband and I were growing concerned because of COVID-19, and already losing several friends from not being able to breathe. I was unsure of what we were dealing with, so we chose to go straight to Altus in Lake Jackson. We were greeted promptly, and the wait was very short before they brought me to a room. I was seen by two nurses who were very thorough with their questions. I was taken for a chest X-ray ( the attendant was sweet and explained the process), then back to the room. I was offered water and a blanket. Waited for the doctor, who explained what his thoughts were, gave me some meds, and went home. Thank you for your professionalism and compassion. A special shout-out to nurse Jenny.”
“Altus is incredible! I was having pain and respiratory issues, and my visit was incredibly fast. Everybody was professional and helpful, and I feel 1,000% better than I did when I walked in there! The best part is that I didn’t need to pay much at all!”
“The staff was warm, welcoming, and caring. They followed COVID protocol. All procedures & medication administrations were explained. I was so sick I really didn’t care what needed to be done, just, please, do it. I recovered exactly as they predicted. I’ll choose them every time. Oh, no wait time, either. I was taken to a room immediately.”
