What patients say
Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
No. Bellaire ER is a walk-in emergency room. You can come in any time, day or night, 365 days a year. No appointment or referral is needed.
Do you accept my insurance?
Come in first — you do not have to be certain it is an emergency. Texas law bases emergency coverage on your symptoms as a reasonable person would judge them, not on the final diagnosis, and requires insurers to pay for emergency care regardless of network status. Bellaire ER is a freestanding emergency room and an out-of-network provider for all health benefit plans; for emergency services, federal law caps your cost sharing at in-network amounts and bars balance billing. Your deductible, copay, and coinsurance still apply. Call (713) 660-0001 with questions.
How does Bellaire ER decide who is seen first?
Patients are seen in order of medical urgency, not arrival time. Someone with chest pain or a possible stroke is taken back ahead of a minor injury, because that is how emergency medicine works. If you are worried about your symptoms, come in or call 911 — do not wait to see whether they pass.
What can you treat?
We treat the full range of emergency conditions: chest pain, broken bones, head injuries, allergic reactions, infections, pediatric emergencies, and more. We have on-site CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound, and a full laboratory for rapid diagnosis.
Do you have a pharmacy on site?
Yes. Bellaire ER has an in-house pharmacy, so in most cases you can leave with the medication your physician prescribes rather than making a second stop at an outside pharmacy after your visit.
Who will treat me at Bellaire ER?
You are treated by licensed, board-certified emergency physicians, supported by nurse practitioners and emergency-trained nursing staff. Bellaire ER is a licensed freestanding emergency room, not an urgent care clinic, and is staffed around the clock.
Do you treat children?
Yes. We welcome patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. Our physicians are experienced in pediatric emergency medicine and our facility is child-friendly.
