Independent Reviews and Patient Experiences:

Texas Direct Medical Care is not an insurance plan. This is a partnership between you and our doctors to provide you the best personal medical care.
To maximize your coverage we recommend combining your subscription with a medical healthcare cost-sharing plans or major medical insurance (AKA catastrophic or hospital insurance). This combination is usually far less than the deductible or premiums of insurance plans.

Your membership is often less than 25% of the deductible of traditional insurance without co-pays or additional hidden fees, out of network costs, etc.
Prescription medications, labs, and x-rays are deeply discounted and sold at wholesale price. Common labs are $3-5 each, such as cholesterol, electrolytes, thyroid, and many other labs. Common X-rays are $50 each.
In a traditional fee for service and insurance dominated practice, you have to pay for most additional items, and surprise bills may appear later in the mail. Everything is upfront at Texas Direct Medical Care.
One option is to combine membership with an existing insurance plan for the far better care we can provide and have the major medical coverage for hospitalizations and other high expenses.
Another option is health share plans discussed on bottom of Home Page.

Texas Direct Medical Care does not bill Medicare and does not participate in Medicare plans. Your membership is a private contract with Texas Direct Medical Care, allowing unlimited visits and the time to manage all aspects of your health.
Medicare has multiple administrative requirements for clinics, and we have opted-out of this system. If you are Medicare enrolled, you may use Medicare for x-rays, MRI’s, referrals, hospitalizations, etc. We recommend using our clinic for most labs. Our direct costs are usually far less than Medicare co-pays for labs.
Medications are often less through discount programs than Medicare co-pays. Always ask the Pharmacists first the cash-pay or discount costs of medications compared with Medicare co-pays.
