Care You Can Afford

Your health matters more than your insurance status.

TrueCare welcomes everyone, and we never turn patients away based on their ability to pay. Ask us about our Health Bundle, a simple, low-cost option that offers one fixed price for all services provided during a visit, including tests, labs, and x-rays.

TrueCare Primary Care: FAQs
How do I choose my primary health care provider?
Visit our Find a Provider page to find the right primary care provider for you and your family.
Do I have to be sick to schedule a primary care appointment?
No. TrueCare offers a wide variety of preventive and wellness services to optimize your health and wellbeing. We encourage our patients to schedule regular health checkups and get immunizations, such as flu vaccinations, to protect against contagious diseases.
Does TrueCare primary care medicine include family planning services?
Yes, as part of our Women’s Health program. From birth control to deciding when to have children and how many, our family planning specialists will gently guide you through some of life’s most important decisions.
What specialized care does TrueCare offer for older adults with complex health needs?
TrueCare’s Older Adult Health Center in San Marcos is a specialty clinic that offers highly experienced internal medicine doctors with a passion for delivering personalized care for seniors living with complex health issues.

TrueCare has partnered with San Diego PACE, a division of San Ysidro Health, to ensure our 55+ patients with complex health needs have a choice for medical services outside of an expensive long-term care facility. SD PACE is a specialized Medicare and Medi-Cal health plan. There are several factors considered to qualify. Ask your doctor if San Diego PACE is a good option for you or your elderly loved ones. For more information, visit the San Diego PACE website.

What if I don’t have health care insurance?

You are always welcome at TrueCare. We never turn away patients due to lack of insurance. Our “Health Bundle” offers one low fixed price for all services provided during a visit, including tests, labs and x-rays.

What is the difference between an internal medicine doctor and a family medicine doctor?

Both are excellent choices for primary care. The main difference is that Internal Medicine doctors specialize in caring for adults (age 18 and older), while Family Medicine doctors are trained to care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. We can help you choose the type of provider that best fits your needs.

Do you offer telehealth or virtual visits?

Yes. TrueCare offers virtual visits for certain needs, so you may be able to see a provider without leaving your home. Call or text (760) 736-6767 to find out if a virtual visit is right for your situation.
