We ask that you be responsible in anticipating the need for refills. Requests may take up to 72 hours to process.

Lab results are available for viewing on our secure patient portal after the results have been reviewed by your healthcare provider. If you do not yet have access to the patient portal, please contact our office. If you do not have access to the internet, you may request a printed copy of your lab results from your provider.

When you need to see a specialist, your doctor will create a referral for you during your office visit. Please note, however, that some referrals require insurance preauthorization, and it may take 3 - 5 business days for us to process them.

Old records are useful to have for patients with complicated health histories. However, for the most part, old records are not necessary for your first visit at Star Medical Associates.

At Star Medical Associates, we treat patients age 18 and up.

Your coverage will depend on your specific plan. Having insurance does not necessarily mean your routine or preventive care is covered. Medicare doesn't cover routine physicals, and its preventive care is limited to certain types of tests and exams, as well as how often those tests or exams can be provided.

You should verify your benefits prior to services being rendered.

All our employees sign a confidentiality agreement regarding the use and care of your medical information. This is a cardinal rule for our practice. We understand our legal obligations to protect your privacy, according to the privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which is federal law. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

If you have any concerns regarding privacy and confidentiality, just ask! You can reach us at (940) 382-6900 in Denton, Texas, or (469) 301-2300 in Frisco, Texas.
