We Are Here to Help.
Healthcare is often confusing, and expensive with answers that are hard to find. We understand, it is all of those things for us as well. Legacy has made the choice since the beginning to be in network, provide honest level of billing, and dedicate ourselves to customer service. We do not ‘balance bill’ both because it is ethically wrong and violates our contract with your insurance company; nor do we up-sell our Emergency Room. Over 80% of our patients are billed at urgent care rates, which means we strive to make an impression so you come back when you need us. 10 years in business and now the nation’s leading healthcare customer service organization – we have no plans of slowing down.
We compiled thousands of pieces of feedback from you to provide answers to the most common questions.
An urgent care typically treats non-life threatening conditions, some of which include common colds, flu, strep throat, lacerations and more.
An emergency room treats conditions in need of immediate attention, some of which include chest pain, abdominal pain, dehydration, complex fractures, and much more
Selection of the right facility can make a big difference in the financial outcome of your visit. Choosing an emergency room and not having an emergency means you will substantially overpay for your treatment. Selecting an urgent care and needing an emergency room will add additional unnecessary cost, but more importantly possibly waste valuable time being transferred to a facility that is capable of treating your condition.
Legacy ER & Urgent Care was founded on the premise of solving this problem. Each facility is equipped to handle the seriousness of any emergency while being able to bill what turns out to be lower acuity needs at urgent care billing rates. This means that as a patient you do not have to try to self-triage on where to go. The answer is to always choose Legacy ER & Urgent Care and know your bill will be reflective of only the care you require to treat your condition. Why is this significant? Because 44%-65% of national ER visits could have been treated and billed at urgent care rates, but weren’t. With over 80% of our patients receiving urgent care billing, we are vastly improving cases of unnecessary ER visits while saving our communities millions in health care costs.
Legacy offers the largest amount of operating hours in which urgent care level billing is available in all of North Texas. Our research has shown that they vast majority of lower acuity patients that would qualify for urgent care billing seek care between the hours of 7:00am-9:00pm, thus our hours of urgent care billing were set. This allows for accurate staffing to ensure our patients are always able to receive high quality patient care at an unmatched level of efficiency.

Unfortunately, Medicare only recognizes and reimburses emergency services at locations licensed as a department of a hospital. Since Legacy operates independently, and not as a department of a hospital, Medicare does not recognize our facilities as being eligible to provide emergency services. Medicare does not require licensure as a hospital department in order to reimburse for urgent care services, so we are happy to provide those services to all patients covered by Medicare.
See above, but basically if you have any questions or problems with your invoice, we are happy to help you in making sure that it is correct. Sometimes this requires us to file appeals or have you call your insurance company, however these are things we will walk you through while assisting you every step of the way.
