Choosing a health plan is the first of many important decisions you will be asked to make about your healthcare. We would like to make you aware of the physician and health plan choices available to you, which will allow you to access the quality healthcare provided at San Antonio Community Hospital and its affiliated facilities.

San Antonio Community Hospital accepts Medicare, managed care plans, indemnity insurance, and workers' compensation insurance. Bringing your health insurance card with you when you come to the Hospital for medical services will expedite your registration process.

Physicians may contract directly with insurance companies. In an HMO setting, physicians contract through Independent Physician Associations knowns as IPAs or medical groups. Since physicians may not have the same insurance contracts as the Hospital, you should check with your health insurance or medical group representative to ensure that you and your physician can utilize San Antonio Community Hospital for your medical treatment.

In addition, your insurance may require an authorization from a primary care physician before you seek care from a specialist or other health care provider. To maximize your health insurance benefits, we suggest that you contact your insurance or medical group representative to confirm your plan's requirements.
