RHEUMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH TEXAS, PLLC

What RHEUMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH TEXAS, PLLC does

Rheumatology Associates of South Texas, PLLC is a private, physician-owned rheumatology specialty practice founded in 2001 in San Antonio, Texas. The practice operates two office locations - the Stone Oak main office (19272 Stone Oak Parkway, Suite 101) housing the onsite infusion center and clinical laboratory, and the Westover Hills satellite office (3903 Wiseman, Suite 221) - and is staffed by approximately 31 employees including six board-certified rheumatologists (Drs. Allen, Kempf, Rennie, Moorjani, Marx, Ayala) and eight nurse practitioners and physician assistants. It serves adult patients with rheumatic and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, scleroderma, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, polymyalgia rheumatica, Sjogren's syndrome, osteoporosis, and vasculitis.

The clinical offering centers on three integrated onsite service lines: physician and APP office consultations, an Infusion Center administering intravenous biologic therapies (Remicade, Rituxan, Orencia, Actemra, Cimzia, Simponi, Benlysta) and osteoporosis IV medications under physician supervision, and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound used both diagnostically for detecting synovitis and early joint damage and therapeutically for image-guided joint and soft-tissue injections. Supporting infrastructure includes an onsite clinical laboratory and Phreesia-based digital pre-registration integrated with the Aprima patient portal.

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional billing through insurance (Medicare, most major commercial plans, and Humana accepted; Medicaid, Health Care Exchange, Cigna, and TriCare excluded). Revenue streams include office-visit collections, infusion therapy buy-and-bill reimbursement (typically the highest-margin line), and laboratory testing fees. Patient acquisition is primarily physician referral-based combined with community outreach (charity walks, patient education), word-of-mouth, and the practice's regional brand built over 20+ years. Pricing to patients consists of insurance deductibles, copays, and coinsurance collected at time of service, plus a $50 new patient deposit applied to the visit cost and a $100 missed-appointment fee.
