Direct Primary Care Membership
Heart of Texas Direct Primary Care offers one straightforward membership. It covers most of your primary care needs. No copays. No surprise bills. No waiting weeks for an appointment. Below you'll find what's included, what it costs, and a few things to know before you enroll.
What Your Membership Includes
Your direct primary care membership gives you real access to me. Not a call center. Not a rotating cast of providers. That means phone and text access with a same day response. It means telemedicine visits when they make sense. And it means in person visits that are often available the same day or the next.
Your membership covers a wide range of medical needs, not just a standard checkup. The full list of included services is in Appendix A of the Member Agreement, which you'll review during enrollment. Most HSA and FSA debit accounts can be used to pay for membership. It's worth checking with your account administrator first to confirm your plan allows it.

Membership is priced by age. It's billed monthly, and there's no long term contract required

Office administered medications and procedures
Some visits call for treatment on the spot instead of a prescription to fill later. A breathing treatment for wheezing. IV fluids for dehydration. An injection for an infection or an inflammatory reaction. These are common examples
Pricing is available upon request and does change based on cost of supply. For DPC members there is a discount on these services included in price quoted. Payment for these services are due at the time of the visit.

Immunizations
Currently unable to keep stock of immunizations due to cost and short expiration periods, as the practice grows this is something we hope to be able to offer. In the mean time, local pharmacies can service most immunization needs and when a child is too young for a local pharmacy, the Waco/McLennan County Health Department is the best option and most affordable overall.

I am currently still opted into these programs while working occasionally in the ER's locally and until I can fully opt-out of these programs in those settings I'm unable enroll these beneficiaries.
