By accessing, browsing, or using this website, you acknowledge that
you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions,

specific feature, form, or service.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue use of
the website.
These Terms apply to visitors, current or prospective patients,
relatives, caregivers, agents, professionals, vendors, and any other
person using the website.
2. Purpose of the website
The Estrella Medical Centers website provides general information
about our centers, services, professionals, locations, hours,
accepted insurance, patient resources, and contact methods.
Content is provided for informational, educational, administrative,
and general communication purposes. The availability of content on
the website does not mean that a service is appropriate, necessary,
covered, or available for every person.
3. Medical emergencies
If you or someone near you is experiencing a medical emergency,
severe symptoms, or a situation requiring immediate assistance, call
911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Do not use website forms, email, text messages, social media, or other
website features to request emergency assistance.
Estrella Medical Centers does not guarantee that communications sent
through the website will be reviewed immediately.
4. Website content is not medical advice
Website content does not replace an evaluation, diagnosis,
recommendation, or treatment provided directly by a qualified health
care professional.
You should not use website content to diagnose a condition, begin,
stop, or change treatment, modify medication, or delay seeking medical care.
Consult an appropriate health care professional regarding questions
about symptoms, medical conditions, medications, examinations, or treatments.
Accessing or using this website, by itself, does not create a
physician-patient relationship between you and Estrella Medical
Centers or between you and any of our professionals.
5. Appointment and contact requests
Website forms allow users to submit contact and appointment requests.
Submitting a request:
- Does not automatically create a confirmed appointment.
- Does not guarantee availability at a specific date, time, or location.
- Does not guarantee that a service is medically appropriate.
- Does not replace an evaluation or intake process.
- Does not independently establish a physician-patient relationship.
An appointment is confirmed only after an authorized Estrella Medical
Centers representative contacts you and confirms the applicable details.
You are responsible for providing accurate contact information and
responding promptly to communications concerning your request.
6. Services, professionals, and availability
Services, professionals, locations, hours, programs, equipment, and
resources described on the website may vary by center, availability,
clinical needs, administrative requirements, and other factors.
The inclusion of a service on the website does not guarantee immediate
availability or promise that the service will be provided to a particular person.
Estrella Medical Centers may modify, expand, limit, suspend, or remove
information about services and locations when necessary.
7. Insurance, coverage, authorizations, and payments
References to health plans, insurers, or accepted benefits are
provided as general information and may change.

does not guarantee that:
- Every service is covered.
- A specific treatment will be authorized.
- Copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance will not apply.
- Prior authorization will not be required.
- Coverage information will remain unchanged.
Patients are responsible for verifying benefits, limitations,
authorizations, network requirements, and financial responsibilities
directly with their insurer.

guarantee, or commitment of payment.

designed to receive it.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates
