Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Tiffany Hendricks:

Are services from Dr. Tiffany Hendricks typically covered by health insurance in Texas?

Dr. Tiffany Hendricks, as a Family Physician in Texas, likely accepts a variety of health insurance plans, including major private insurers, Medicare, and potentially state Medicaid programs. However, it is absolutely crucial that you verify with your specific insurance provider, AND with our clinic’s office at (855) 732-5181 prior to your appointment, that Dr. Hendricks 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. Tiffany Hendricks as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Tiffany Hendricks 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. Tiffany Hendricks 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. Tiffany Hendricks, 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.

What does PCP mean and is Dr. Tiffany Hendricks one?

PCP stands for Primary Care Physician. Yes, Dr. Tiffany Hendricks, as a Family Physician, serves as a PCP for her patients. Your PCP is your main doctor for general health needs, preventative care (like annual physicals and screenings), and is usually the first point of contact for most medical issues, both acute and chronic. She manages a wide range of health concerns and coordinates your overall care, including providing referrals to specialists if needed. Many health insurance plans in the US, especially HMOs, require you to select or be assigned a designated PCP to oversee your care and authorize specialist visits.

How can I find a Family Physician (Family Physician) in Texas who is accepting new patients and takes my insurance?

First, check your health insurance plan’s "Find a Doctor" or "Provider Directory" tool (often available online or via their member services phone number) to find in-network PCPs. This is the most reliable way to ensure coverage. Also use the "Physician Finder" tool on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) website (familydoctor.org). The Texas Medical Board website may have search tools for licensed physicians. Ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations. Contact local hospital systems or larger medical groups, as they often have affiliated family physicians who are accepting new patients and can provide lists of accepted insurances. It can be challenging; verify insurance acceptance directly with the clinic before scheduling.

Can you explain common health insurance terms like co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance?

A co-pay (or copayment) is a fixed amount (e.g., $25 or $50) you pay for a covered healthcare service at the time of service. Your insurance plan pays the rest. A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket for covered healthcare services *before* your insurance plan starts to pay its share (e.g., you might have a $1,000 annual deductible). Preventive services are often covered before meeting the deductible. Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered healthcare service, calculated as a percentage (e.g., 20%) of the allowed amount for the service, which you pay *after* you've met your deductible. These amounts and how they apply vary greatly by insurance plan. Consult your insurance plan documents or contact your insurer’s member services for details.

How long do appointments with Dr. Tiffany Hendricks typically last?

Appointment length varies depending on the reason for your visit. Standard appointments for a single issue or routine follow-up are often 15-20 minutes. Appointments for more complex issues, a comprehensive 'annual physical', a new patient intake, in-depth counseling, or an in-office minor procedure will usually be longer (30-45 minutes or more). When booking, mention the reason for your visit so the staff can allocate the appropriate time. If you have multiple unrelated issues, you might need a longer appointment or separate visits.

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

Preventative care aims to stop health issues from occurring or catch them early. This includes regular physical exams or wellness visits, vaccinations, screenings for common conditions, and personalized advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It’s about being proactive.

What if Dr. Tiffany Hendricks works in a group practice or medical group? Will I always see Dr. Tiffany Hendricks?

Dr. Tiffany Hendricks practices as part of a group practice, which means you have access to a team of healthcare professionals. While the goal is always to promote continuity with your primary Family Physician, Dr. Tiffany Hendricks, for some urgent same-day issues, routine follow-ups, or if Dr. Hendricks is unavailable, you might be offered an appointment with another trusted member of the care team. This collaborative, team-based approach can enhance access to care and ensure your needs are met promptly. The clinic will always strive to have you see Dr. Hendricks for complex or ongoing issues.
