Before your first visit

What the first visit is like

When you arrive, you'll fill out a short intake. If you'd rather do it ahead of time, the office can email or mail you the forms.

Next, you'll meet with Dr. Baumgartner or Allison Turner, DNP. You'll go over your history, your exam, your imaging, and any treatments you've already tried. The appointment is long enough to cover all of that and answer your questions. Then we build your personalized plan together.

What to bring

  • Your photo ID
  • Your insurance card
  • A list of the medicines you take now
  • Imaging reports or discs, and records from past pain treatment
  • The operative report from any spine or joint surgery, if you have a copy

You don't need a new MRI before your first visit. Bring whatever imaging you already have, and we'll tell you if you need more.

How insurance is checked

When we call to confirm your appointment, please have your insurance card handy so we can collect what we need to verify your benefits. Before your visit, our team contacts your insurer to confirm coverage, copays, deductibles, and any prior authorization. If there's a coverage issue, we'll reach out before your appointment.

Some insurance plans require a referral. Many don't. We check that when we verify your benefits. We can check Medicare, many Medicare Advantage plans, Texas Medicaid, TRICARE Prime through US Family Health Plan, most major commercial plans, workers' compensation, and personal injury cases. Self-pay is also available. A plan on our list is not a promise of coverage. Coverage depends on your specific plan.

Call (832) 960-7160 to confirm your benefits, or see the full list on our insurance page.

Common questions

  • Your photo ID, insurance card, a list of your current medicines, and any imaging reports or discs and records from past pain treatment. If you have had spine or joint surgery, bring the operative report if you have it.
