Texans Anesthesia participates in most major health plans across the communities we serve. We are committed to reducing administrative complexity and helping patients better understand and manage their financial responsibilities, while minimizing out-of-pocket burden whenever possible.
Texans Anesthesia accepts traditional Medicare and traditional Medicaid and is contracted with most major commercial health plans. Because coverage may vary by plan, we recommend confirming in-network status directly with your insurance carrier using the phone number on your insurance card.
Your care team may include both an anesthesiologist (physician) and a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). In many cases, insurance requires each provider to bill separately, resulting in two claims for a single anesthetic service. This is standard practice and not considered duplicate billing.
Insurance benefits are applied to each claim according to your plan’s contracted rates. Processing typically takes 30–60 days, and you will receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurer once processing is complete or if additional information is needed.
Anesthesia services are billed separately from surgical and facility charges. The hospital or surgery center will collect your insurance and demographic information prior to your procedure, which Texans Anesthesia uses to submit claims directly to your insurance carrier.
Our anesthesia professionals are specialist providers and bill separately from the surgeon and facility charges. Prior to your procedure, the hospital or surgery center will collect your insurance and demographic information. Texans Anesthesia Associates uses this information to submit claims directly to your insurance company.
If benefits are applied toward your deductible or coinsurance, you may have a remaining balance. We will bill any secondary insurance on file. If no secondary coverage is available, you will receive a statement reflecting the amount due, payable upon receipt.
If you are unable to pay in full, please contact our Patient Services team at (713) 955-3568, Monday–Friday, 8:00am–4:30pm CST, to discuss payment options or a monthly arrangement.

Texas law and the federal No Surprises Act provide important protections for many patients receiving anesthesia services. In many situations, you cannot be billed more than your applicable in-network cost-sharing amount (copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles).
When a health care provider is out of network, the provider’s charges may exceed the amount paid by your health insurance plan.
Historically, some providers billed patients for the difference between:
This practice is called balance billing (sometimes called surprise billing).

You Are Generally Protected From Balance Billing For:
Emergency Services:
If you receive emergency medical services, you generally cannot be balance billed beyond your normal in-network cost-sharing amounts.
Anesthesia Services at an In-Network Ambulatory Surgery Center:
If your surgery center is in your insurance network and you receive anesthesia services from an out-of-network anesthesiologist, federal law generally protects you from surprise billing. Anesthesiology is specifically identified as an ancillary service subject to these protections.
Situations Where You Did Not Have a Meaningful Choice of Provider:
Texas law and federal law prohibit balance billing when patients receive covered services from certain out-of-network providers at in-network facilities and did not have the ability to choose the provider.
You remain responsible for your plan’s normal:
These amounts are determined by your health plan and are not considered surprise bills.
