Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Aimee Flournoy:

Are services from Dr. Aimee Flournoy typically covered by health insurance in Texas?

Dr. Aimee Flournoy, as a Family Physician in Texas, likely accepts a variety of health insurance plans, including major private insurers, Medicare, and potentially state Medicaid programs (patients should verify Medicaid participation directly). However, it is absolutely imperative that you verify with your specific insurance provider AND with our clinic's office at (817) 556-4800 prior to your appointment to confirm that Dr. Aimee Flournoy is 'in-network' for your plan and to understand your specific coverage details, co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, and any referral requirements for specialist visits if applicable. Some services (e.g., most cosmetic procedures, some administrative forms, non-medically necessary visits) may not be covered by insurance and could result in out-of-pocket expenses. Please ask the clinic about policies for uninsured or self-pay patients if applicable.

Do I typically need a referral to see Dr. Aimee Flournoy as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Aimee Flournoy to establish care as your Family Physician/Primary Care Physician (PCP), provided she is accepting new patients. However, to see most medical specialists (e.g., cardiologist, dermatologist), Dr. Aimee Flournoy will typically provide a referral after an assessment. Many insurance plans, particularly HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations), do require a referral from your designated PCP (Dr. Aimee Flournoy, if so chosen) for specialist visits to be covered. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans may offer more flexibility for self-referral to specialists, but this might result in higher out-of-pocket costs if the specialist is out-of-network or if a referral would have secured better coverage. Always check the referral requirements of your specific insurance plan.

How do I get a prescription refilled by Dr. Aimee Flournoy?

For most routine prescription refills, please contact your pharmacy first, ideally 5-7 days before you run out of medication. Your pharmacy can often send an electronic refill request directly to Dr. Aimee Flournoy's office. Please allow at least 24-72 business hours for these requests to be processed. For certain medications (e.g., controlled substances, medications requiring close monitoring), or if it has been a significant time since your last review, an appointment will likely be required. Some insurance plans may require prior authorization, which our office can help initiate. It is always best to request refills proactively.

I have multiple health problems (multimorbidity). How does Dr. Aimee Flournoy handle complex care?

If you have several health issues, Dr. Aimee Flournoy is well-equipped to be your central point of care and your 'medical home'. She's role includes understanding how your different conditions and their treatments might impact each other, helping you to navigate the US healthcare system (including specialist referrals and insurance considerations for complex care), and ensuring that all aspects of your health are considered in your overall treatment plan. Dr. Aimee Flournoy will work with you and other specialists to manage your health comprehensively and advocate for your best interests.

What does 'preventative care' involve with a Family Physician like Dr. Aimee Flournoy in the US?

Preventative care provided by Dr. Aimee Flournoy aims to stop health issues from occurring or to catch them at an early, more manageable stage, following established US guidelines. This includes regular physical exams or wellness visits (many insurance plans cover one per year), vaccinations, screenings for common conditions like certain cancers or heart disease risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes), and personalized advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, physical activity, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking.

However, if you are a new patient, scheduled for a complete physical exam/preventive visit, or need to discuss multiple or complex health matters, the appointment will likely be scheduled for a longer duration, such as 30 to 45 minutes. Please inform the reception staff at the clinic about the nature and number of concerns you have when booking, so sufficient time with Dr. Aimee Flournoy can be arranged to provide quality care.

What is 'continuity of care' and why is it important with a Family Physician like Dr. Aimee Flournoy?

Continuity of care means having an ongoing, long-term relationship with your Family Physician, Dr. Aimee Flournoy, and her care team.

Studies show that good continuity of care with a PCP is linked to better health outcomes, higher patient satisfaction, increased adherence to medical advice, and more appropriate use of healthcare resources (e.g., fewer unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations).

What should I expect during my first new patient intake appointment with Dr. Aimee Flournoy?

When you first meet Dr. Aimee Flournoy as a new patient, expect to spend time discussing your complete health profile and filling out necessary registration and insurance forms.
