Intuitive Health Expands Innovative Health Care Model in North Texas, Offering Prosper Residents Convenient Access to Both Emergency and Urgent Care Services
PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2024 / Intuitive Health, the industry-leading provider of the combined emergency room and urgent care under one roof model, announced today that its seventh North Texas location will open on October 21 under the Legacy ER & Urgent Care brand. The new facility, Legacy ER & Urgent Care Prosper, is at 211 West Frontier Parkway, Prosper, Texas 75078. The Prosper facility represents another milestone for Intuitive Health as it becomes its thirty-third operational site.
The Legacy ER & Urgent Care Prosper facility has a combined 24/7 full-service emergency room and an urgent care facility open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. It will serve patients with a state-of-the-art on-site lab and radiology suite, including an X-ray machine and a CT scanner and is staffed with ER-licensed, board-certified physicians.
The facility's unique approach allows the ER physician to assess each patient and determine the required care level - urgent or emergency. This ensures patients are only billed for the level of care they need, significantly reducing unnecessary ER costs. In fact, over 80% of patients are treated and billed at the urgent care level, demonstrating the facility's efficiency and patient-focused approach.
Key highlights of the facility include:
In-network status with most major insurance plans
Billing transparency helps to eliminate surprise bills
Billing is based only on the level of care provided to patients
Clear communication with patients regarding their treatment status as urgent care or emergency cases, with additional consent sought for the latter
Minimal wait times, with most urgent care visits completed within 45 minutes
No appointment is needed
The 11,072-square-foot state-of-the-art facility is designed to offer a unique health care experience, blending the convenience of urgent care with the expertise of emergency care. The location will have six emergency rooms and four outpatient/non-urgent care rooms, reflecting Intuitive Health's commitment to providing accessible, high-quality care to the Prosper community. The construction of this new site represents an investment of $8.8 million.
"Our expansion in North Texas with the new Prosper facility aligns with our mission to simplify how patients access emergency and urgent care," said Thom Herrmann, CEO of Intuitive Health. "We are excited to bring our unique model of emergency and urgent care to more communities, offering a differentiated health care experience that is both efficient and patient-centric and exceeds customer expectations."
