If you selected UT Health Services as your PCP:
Please keep in mind that as your PCP, it is our responsibility to help manage your care. That includes providing authorizations to specialists and emergency department personnel for treatment in the event that you require services from either of these sources.

If you have occasion to use an emergency department, please notify us at (713) 500-3267 as soon as possible, so that we may obtain authorization for your emergency departmental visit.

If you require the services of a health care specialist, please let us know. In most cases, patients under managed care plans must see their PCP for a referral before they see their specialist physician. If a patient does not obtain a referral prior to seeing the specialist, (s)he may be responsible for some or all of the expense of the visit. We want to ensure that you are able to use your managed care plan as efficiently as possible. Please help us help you. For more information please call (713) 500-3267.
