Medical emergencies are one of the major stressors in life and having to battle with your insurance company afterwards only adds more stress. Our goal is to minimize that stress by ensuring your emergency is resolved quickly and efficiently. Rice Emergency Room is your personal advocate in this process by making sure that the benefits for which you pay monthly will be honored by your insurance company.
At Rice Emergency Room, we provide fast, concierge emergency care to all members of the Houston community and Rice Village area. State law requires your health insurance company pays your emergency room claim based on your in-network benefits. This safeguards you from having to worry about finding an in-network provider when experiencing a medical emergency. Insurance Code law can be found here.
While our facility is not a participating provider with any health benefit plans, we do work with all private insurance plans. This enables us to coordinate directly with your insurance provider, ensuring that your visit is processed at an in-network level.
Rice Emergency Room has never and will never balance bill or surprise bill!
