The McLennan County market for plastic surgeons
With roughly 268,583 residents across 1,037 square miles, McLennan County ranks 21st by population among Texas's 254 counties. Few practices take injury work on a lien, so the ones that do carry most of the regional volume.
The county has grown 2.8% since 2020. Injury volume tends to track population and traffic more closely than it tracks anything else, which is why capacity for plastic surgeons here moves with the same curve.
Referral volume concentrates around the county's larger municipalities — waco — but MediLink routes by coverage radius rather than city limits, so a plastic surgeon serving the county line still receives cases from a few miles the other side of it.
What a plastic surgeon does in these cases — Treats lacerations, facial trauma, and scarring — the visible, permanent injuries that carry disfigurement damages.
Texas injury law, in practice
Texas is an at-fault state: the driver responsible for a crash — through their liability insurer — pays for the harm caused. There is no mandatory PIP, so a large share of injured patients arrive with no immediate way to pay for care, which makes letters of protection and clear billing practice central to whether treatment happens at all.
Reconstructive work is expensive and usually runs on a letter of protection, so the paid-or-incurred rule makes the difference between billed and accepted amounts a live issue at settlement.
For treating providers
- Most patients arrive without first-party coverageBecause PIP can be rejected in writing and frequently is, a treating clinic often has no immediate payer. Whether care happens comes down to how quickly a letter of protection or a clear patient financial responsibility arrangement can be put in place.
- Paid-or-incurred shapes your billingTexas limits recovery to medical expenses actually paid or incurred, so billed-versus-accepted differences matter. Consistent, defensible billing practice protects both the patient’s recovery and the clinic’s.
- Attribution of responsibility affects paymentWith a 51% bar on recovery, a case where responsibility is genuinely contested carries real payment risk on a lien. Knowing that early changes whether and how a clinic takes the case.
