If you have an insurance company that is not in this list, we can also bill your insurance for out-of-network benefits if your plan has out-of-network benefits. You will likely be responsible for more than you would be responsible for if you chose an in-network provider.

Please call our office to see if we are contracted with your insurance plan. If we list plans we are not contracted with, then search engines may pull up our website if you search for a provider who accepts your insurance.

Yes, we will bill your primary and secondary insurance companies if we are contracted with them. However, we will not bill your tertiary insurance company.

If your insurance company requires a referral from your primary care physician (PCP) in order for you to see a specialist, then you must obtain a referral from your PCP before scheduling an appointment with Dr. Martin. If your insurance company does not require a referral to see a specialist, then no referral is required.

Yes, if your plan requires a copay, we will collect a copay at the time of your appointment in order to fulfill the requirements of our contract with your insurance company.

No, at this time, we are not aware of any insurance companies that will pay for PRF. Regenerative medicine is self-pay only. If we are contracted with your insurance company, we will bill your insurance for the initial visit with Dr. Martin. However, you will be responsible for paying for any PRF treatments before your procedure.

Sometimes. Some insurance companies will allow for regenerative medicine treatments to count towards deductibles; some insurance companies do not. If this is a deciding factor for you, we ask that you contact your insurance company to find out before scheduling your treatment.

Dr. Martin can usPRF to treat joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and the spine (facet joints).

No, Dr. Martin cannot treat these conditions.

Dr. Martin treats all levels of the spine, including cervical, thoracic and lumbar. She does PRF treatments, as well as steroid injections (covered by insurance).

No, Dr. Martin does not.

No.

Dr. Martin is an expert at properly diagnosing and appropriately and effectively treating patients. She completed medical school at Texas Tech University, including clinical training in El Paso, Texas; PM&R residency at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas; and a one-to-one fellowship with Dr. Lawrence Frank, an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of back, neck and joint conditions, as well as muscle and peripheral nerve injuries.

No guarantee is made or implied that healing, reduced pain or improved function will definitely occur with PRF. While Dr. Martin thoroughly evaluates each patient and suggests considering regenerative medicine treatments only if she truly believes the treatment will significantly improve the patient’s outcome, no medical treatment, including regenerative medicine, is ever guaranteed to cure a patient’s ailment. Despite Dr. Martin’s best attempts at selecting only individuals for regenerative medicine who have a strong chance of success with PRF, we cannot guarantee that treatment will have the results that we desire. Furthermore, Dr. Martin will not treat a patient with regenerative medicine if a joint is unstable or if she believes a patient needs surgery.

Dr. Martin numbs the area prior to retrieving bone marrow. Additionally, Dr. Martin is very gentle with all of her treatments. Most patients experience very little discomfort, describing the sensation as a “pressure.”

Before injecting, Dr. Martin numbs the area to be injected with a topical “freezing” menthol agent in order to reduce discomfort. The injection usually does not hurt patients at all until the area of injury is reached with the needle and PRF is injected into the region. At this point, there is sometimes some pain in the region, usually described as being similar to the regular level of pain in the area on a moderately painful day. After approximately 5-20 minutes, the pain usually returns to the pre-injection pain level. Our patients usually report a significant decrease in pain over the course of the next 7-14 days, with many patients reporting 50% or greater improvement in pain level. However, in one case of severe long-term pain and repeated injury, it took six weeks for healing and complete dissolution of pain to occur.

Dr. Martin spends approximately 30-40 minutes with patients during new patient visits and 20-25 minutes with patients during follow-up appointments. Dr. Martin believes that it is important to spend enough time with patients to fully understand each patient’s situation and pain-generator in order to properly diagnose patients. Dr. Martin also takes the time to educate patients about their conditions and options.

If you are a new patient, please either print and fill out the new patient paperwork ahead of time or arrive 20-30 minutes before your scheduled appointment to fill out the paperwork in the clinic. If you are an established patient, please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled appointment to review any changes.
