Membership
Healthcare that answers your call — not your insurance company’s.
Direct Care is an established healthcare model for routine primary care. Patients pay a flat fee directly to the practice, making it easier to reach the same healthcare provider, spend more time together, and schedule care without surprise bills or insurance claims for included routine services. GracePoint offers this model in Los Fresnos.

What is membership-based healthcare?
Membership-based primary care is a healthcare model in which patients pay a flat recurring fee directly to a primary care practice for the routine services and access included in the membership.
The model is designed to make everyday care easier to reach: the same healthcare provider can spend more time with patients, appointments may be available the same or next day, and included routine care does not require a separate insurance claim for each visit.
GracePoint offers this Direct Primary Care model for patients seeking an ongoing local primary care relationship.

A membership does not replace health insurance.
Direct Care memberships cover the routine primary care services included in the membership. GracePoint’s membership is not a health or accident insurance plan. Health insurance should still be used for emergencies, hospitalization, surgery, specialist care, and other major medical expenses, depending on the insurance plan.

From routine care to ongoing health concerns, primary care is often the first place people turn for everyday healthcare needs.

See how a membership structure can reduce complexity.
Traditional insured healthcare and Direct Primary Care use different payment models. The difference is not a promise of savings; it is the structure of how primary care access may be paid for and experienced.

Membership FAQ
Is a Direct Care membership health insurance?
No. A Direct Care membership is not a health or accident insurance plan. Health insurance should still be used for emergencies, hospitalization, surgery, specialist care, and other major medical expenses, depending on the plan.
What is included with membership?
GracePoint currently promotes included office visits, Care Without the Rush, same- or next-day appointments, direct provider access, telehealth when appropriate, and discounted laboratory services as membership benefits.
Can membership be used for emergencies?
Direct Care is designed for routine primary care. Emergencies should be handled through the appropriate emergency service, and health insurance may apply to emergency care depending on the plan.
Can members see specialists?
Specialist care is outside routine primary care. Health insurance may provide coverage for specialist services depending on the individual’s plan; the clinic can provide current information about the primary care relationship.
Are prescriptions included?
Prescription management is included with your care. Medication costs are separate and depend on your pharmacy, the medication, and your insurance plan.
Can membership be cancelled?
Cancellation terms depend on the current membership agreement. Contact GracePoint for current enrollment and cancellation information.
Can membership be used with employer insurance?
Employer-sponsored insurance may continue to be used for services outside the membership’s routine primary care scope. Contact GracePoint and the insurance plan for guidance about how the two arrangements may work together.
