Is Medicare Accepted at Memorial Primary and Urgent Care?

We understand how important it is for our patients to have access to quality healthcare. That’s why we proudly accept Medicare, a federal health insurance program that primarily covers individuals who are 65 years of age or older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities or specific medical conditions like End-Stage Renal Disease.

Most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65 and are either U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents who have lived in the U.S. for at least five continuous years. Individuals under 65 may also qualify if they have been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for at least 24 months or have qualifying conditions such as ALS or permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant.

If you are covered by Medicare, Memorial Primary and Urgent Care TX can help you access a wide range of healthcare services. These include:
● Preventive care and annual wellness visits
● Chronic disease management
● Urgent care for illnesses and minor injuries
● Laboratory testing and diagnostic services
● Coordination of specialty care when needed

We are committed to making your experience as smooth as possible and can assist with questions regarding your Medicare coverage and benefits.

Some patients are automatically enrolled in Medicare, especially if they are already receiving Social Security benefits, while others may need to apply. If you have questions about your eligibility or how to use your Medicare benefits at our practice, our knowledgeable staff is here to help guide you through the process.

We are committed to providing comprehensive care for our patients—including those enrolled in Medicare. If you’re a current or prospective Medicare beneficiary, it’s important to understand how your Medicare coverage works at our practice.

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance). While Memorial Primary and Urgent Care TX focuses on outpatient and urgent care rather than inpatient hospital stays, your Medicare Part A coverage is important if you require hospitalization. For any follow-up care after a hospital stay, our team can assist with your transition back to outpatient management, helping coordinate services as needed.

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) Most services provided at Memorial Primary and Urgent Care TX fall under Medicare Part B. This includes:
● Primary care visits with our doctors and nurse practitioners
● Same-day urgent care services
● Preventive screenings and wellness exams
● Immunizations (flu shots, pneumonia vaccines, etc.)
● Management of chronic conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease)
● Durable medical equipment orders (as medically necessary)

If you have Medicare Part B, you can utilize your benefits for these services at our clinic. Most patients pay a monthly premium for Part B and may be responsible for deductibles or coinsurance.

Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) Memorial Primary and Urgent Care TX accepts many Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans. These plans are offered by private insurers and often include additional benefits beyond Original Medicare. Our staff can help verify whether your specific plan is accepted at our clinic and explain any copays or coverage details relevant to your care.

Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage). If you need prescriptions as part of your treatment plan, Medicare Part D helps cover medication costs. Our providers can work with your Part D plan to ensure your prescriptions are sent to your preferred pharmacy and are covered under your plan’s formulary.
