Need a same-day visit? How to plan a cash-pay appointment without surprises

Start by asking, not assuming

When you feel unwell, it helps to have a clear next step. At Tejas Clinic, you can request an appointment by phone, text or the website contact form. Same-day visits depend on the clinic schedule, available time and whether the service is appropriate for an office appointment.

A request is not a reservation. Wait for staff to confirm the time and address before traveling. Our only clinic is at 12500 Lebanon Rd, Suite 102, Frisco, TX 75035. Plano is a community we serve, not another clinic location. Text or call 469.469.8292 to confirm your appointment.

Ask what the visit fee includes

Cash-pay care is an option for patients who do not want to use insurance or do not have coverage for a service. The useful question is not just “How much is a visit?” It is “What is included, and what might be charged separately?”

Clarify whether the quote includes the examination, a particular test, specimen collection, interpretation or a follow-up conversation. Prescription costs and outside laboratory or imaging charges may be separate. The cash-pricing page distinguishes $149 follow-up and $199 new-patient visit fees, a separate build-your-own lab total with mandatory $100 virtual or $125 in-person results review, and the clinic’s $99 monthly membership. The membership includes one visit per month and basic labs, with a four-month option at $396 total. Ask for the exact lab list, testing frequency, eligible visit types, extra charges and cancellation terms before enrollment. This is not insurance; hospital, specialist and medication costs are not promised as included.

An itemized receipt does not automatically mean an insurance plan will reimburse the expense or count it toward a deductible. Check your plan rather than assuming cash-pay costs qualify.

Share enough to arrange care safely

Give staff the information needed to arrange the right appointment through the clinic’s appropriate intake process. Avoid putting sensitive health details, laboratory reports or identification documents into ordinary SMS or the public website assistant. Ask how to share medical information securely.

Bring your current medicine list, relevant records and questions to the appointment. If you have insurance and want to use it, bring the card and confirm the plan with staff. Language preferences should be discussed when booking so available support can be checked.

Choose the right setting

An office request is not an emergency service. Call 911 for a suspected medical emergency such as new chest pressure, severe breathing difficulty or stroke symptoms. Do not wait for a text response or use a questionnaire to decide whether an emergency can wait.

Video visits may suit some follow-ups but cannot replace every examination. Ask whether the concern can be handled remotely and confirm that you meet the location requirements before booking.

Your next step

Contact Tejas Clinic to request a same-day visit with Dr. Raman, discuss self-pay care or confirm an appointment at our clinic. Clinic operations and prices can change. Staff confirmation—not an old screenshot, search snippet or automated assistant response—is the final source for your appointment details.

Make the visit easier for your household

If you or a visiting parent prefer Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Urdu or another language, tell staff when requesting the visit so support can be confirmed. Do not assume a specific interpreter is always available. A relative can help organize records, but the patient decides who joins private medical conversations.

Bring medication packaging from India or another country, recent results and a short list of questions. Ask whether preventive care, a new symptom or a follow-up needs a different appointment type and fee. For nonurgent preparation, the men’s and women’s health section can help you decide what to discuss. There is only one Tejas clinic, in Frisco; plan the journey after staff confirms your appointment.
