1. What is the billing process at Exceptional ER?
Exceptional ER has a simple and flexible billing process that is quite similar to a conventional hospital-based ER. At the time of service, we collect any applicable copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance that is due at the time of service).
2. What if Exceptional ER is not in my insurance network?
Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance plans are required to cover emergency services.
Texas law further requires insurance carriers to pay for a patient’s emergency care, whether the emergency room is “in-network” or “out of network.” The state of Texas empowers patients to use “a prudent layperson standard” in deciding what constitutes an emergency.
3. What if a patient is facing trouble with the insurance company?
State law mandates insurance carriers to reimburse patients for their ER visits. In case an insurance company doesn’t agree to cover your emergency room visit, patients can exercise their right to file a grievance with the Texas Department of Insurance.

4. Who will answer queries about your bill?
Most patients believe medical billing is a complex and time consuming process. At Exceptional ER, the billing process is easy and transparent. If patients have any questions regarding billing or insurance, please contact us. We will do our best to answer your questions.
5. What is a patient advocate and how can you contact them?
At Exceptional ER, we provide a patient advocate to our patients; the advocate provides guidance to patients and helps them understand the ER Bill and effectively serves as a liaison between the ER facility and the patient.
6. What insurances does Exceptional ER accept?
Exceptional ER will bill all major private insurance plans for patient care provided.
Unfortunately, we do not accept Medicaid or Medicare; But during this state of National emergency Exceptional Emergency Centers are now allowed to accept Medicare insurance for all eligible beneficiaries. (Not including Tyler)
If you do not have insurance, we can work with you to devise a cash fee schedule so that you can cover your visit. We assure you that there are no hidden fees or charges.
We can work on your behalf immediately after you discover an insurance processing error. Contact us to begin the appeals process.
Billed charges are comparable to hospital ER care. Services are billed at emergency center rates, not urgent care rates.
7. I received an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after my visit to the ER. Is that my bill?
After a visit to the emergency room, patients receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). The EOB is NOT your bill; it is a statement from your insurance company that is sent to you and to Exceptional ER to explain the medical services that were covered and paid for.

If you are unable to pay your bill please call our billing office to discuss payment plans and other payment options.
