Division of General Internal Medicine
Three groups of physicians (Community Internal Medicine, General Internal Medicine and Santa Fe Internal Medicine) previously in different locations have joined efforts to deliver care for diseases of adults in the Center for Diagnostic Medicine (CDM).
Some of these physicians have designed their practices to serve the needs of patients who travel from afar (neighboring states and Mexico) to come to Scott and White. They anticipate their needs and coordinate an extensive workup which is conducted over a very short period to limit inconvenience and cost to the patient.
Other members of our staff are fluent in Spanish and are able to conduct the entire episode of medical care in this language.
In-house lab and radiology services and a drive-in pharmacy
The CDM has laboratory and basic radiology services precluding the need for travel to the main campus, except for the most sophisticated tests.
There is also a drive-in pharmacy on site and our pharmacists participate in medical care by staffing a Medication Management Clinic, which gives particular emphasis to diabetes care, but also deals with blood pressure and cholesterol problems.
Once you are a patient of the Center, your prescription refills are handled by a special office staffed by a pharmacist who verifies the accuracy of the request and processes it expeditiously.
Scheduling an Appointment
You can call 254-215-0100 or, request an appointment online. If you have a same-day appointment need and your doctor is fully booked, we have dedicated providers to satisfy your need.
We also have weekend clinic hours every Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Insurance Information
The CDM doctors are providers for most health insurance companies, including the Scott & White Health Plan.
You can verify whether your insurance company contracts our services by calling them up or by contacting us at 866-386-9323. Every time you attend a visit, you must bring your insurance card and identification.
We accept checks, cash, VISA, MasterCard and Discover cards for the co-payment that must be made at the time of your appointment.
