Insurance‑Friendly Care, Close to Home

Innovative Primary Care makes it easy to access trusted, relationship‑based primary care at three convenient clinic locations in Texas, plus secure telemedicine visits for many needs. Our focus is long‑term wellness through evidence‑based medicine, compassionate listening, and customized treatment plans for every stage of life.

Welcome to Your Primary Care Home

At Innovative Primary Care, we care for the whole person, not just a single problem or diagnosis. Our family practice and primary care clinic services support everyday health needs as well as more advanced concerns, such as GLP-1 weight-loss management and hormone replacement therapy.

  • We care for patients 16 and older.
  • We provide limited acute care for children of established primary patients.
  • Appointments are never rushed, so there is time to review your history, goals, and questions.

We serve patients from three locations—San Antonio, Bandera, and Rockport—and also offer virtual care appointments so you can often be seen without leaving home.

Insurance We Accept

We know that “Do you take my insurance?” is one of the first questions people ask when searching for “primary care near me.” Our goal is to make that answer as straightforward as possible.

Primary care insurance plans

We are contracted practitioners for a wide range of primary care insurance plans (plan details can change, so always confirm with your insurer and make sure we are listed as your PCP before your visit):

  • Aetna (EPO/PPO/Better Health)
  • UnitedHealthcare (PPO)
  • Anthem (PPO)
  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield (PPO/HMO)
  • Cigna (PPO)
  • Christus Health Plan
  • GEHA
  • Partners Direct Health
  • UMR
  • MultiPlan/PHCS
  • HealthSmart
  • Imagine Health Network
  • Caprock
  • Medicare
  • Superior Health Plans
  • WellCare
  • Tricare/TriWest
  • Oscar

We also accept HSA, HRA, FSA, debit cards, and CareCredit for qualified health and wellness services.

Practical tip: Before your appointment, call the number on your insurance card and ask:

  • Is Innovative Primary Care in‑network?
  • Is my chosen clinician listed as my primary care provider (PCP)?
  • What are my co‑pay, deductible, and coinsurance for primary care visits?

Services: Primary Care, Wellness, and More

Our services are built to be both comprehensive and practical, so you can get most of your primary care in one place.

Comprehensive primary care

We provide ongoing care for many acute and chronic conditions, including:

  • Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
  • Thyroid and other endocrine concerns
  • Skin problems, rashes, and minor infections
  • Preventive care, wellness visits, and screenings
  • Evaluation of complex or “mystery” symptoms

This approach supports better long‑term health by focusing on prevention, early detection, and continuous care instead of only reacting to emergencies.

Same‑day acute care

When you are sick or hurt, you should not have to start over at a walk‑in clinic with strangers. Our same‑day acute care model (in‑office and telemedicine, when appropriate) prioritizes established patients for:

  • Cough, sore throat, sinus, and respiratory infections
  • Stomach bugs, minor infections, and sudden illness
  • Sprains, minor injuries, and issues that do not require the ER

Because we already know your history, medications, and risk factors, we can often diagnose and treat more quickly and safely.

Medically supervised weight loss (including GLP‑1s)

We offer weight loss management that goes far beyond “diet and exercise only.” Medically supervised programs may include:

  • Detailed medical evaluation and labs
  • GLP‑1 or GIP medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide) when appropriate
  • Personalized nutrition and activity guidance
  • Regular telehealth and in‑person check‑ins to track progress, adjust doses, and monitor side effects

This evidence‑based approach supports weight loss while also addressing related issues such as insulin resistance, fatty liver, and sleep apnea.

Hormone replacement therapy & optimization

Hormones have a major impact on energy, mood, weight, sleep, and overall quality of life. We provide bio‑identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), especially for women facing premenopausal and perimenopausal symptoms.

Treatment options may include:

  • Pellet implants
  • Injectables
  • Creams, troches, oral formulations, and patches

We integrate HRT with your overall primary care plan, monitoring heart, bone, and metabolic health while helping manage hot flashes, mood shifts, low energy, and more.

Additional in‑clinic services

To keep care convenient, we also offer:

  • In‑office lab draws and phlebotomy
  • EKG testing
  • Colon cancer screening
  • STD testing, UTI care, and women’s primary care services
  • Limited acute care for children of established primary patients

Convenient Telemedicine Visits

Telemedicine lets you get expert primary care from home, work, or on the go. Virtual visits are available for many acute and chronic issues, especially for established patients.

Telehealth is often appropriate for:

  • Respiratory infections, rashes, stomach issues, and minor acute problems
  • Medication follow‑ups and chronic disease check‑ins
  • Weight loss management and some hormone follow‑up visits

To get the most out of telemedicine:

  • Use a device with a good camera and internet connection.
  • Have recent home vitals ready (blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, weight, if available).
  • Be prepared to schedule an in‑person visit when a physical exam or testing is needed.

Locations, Hours, & How to Schedule

We provide primary care at three locations to serve you and your family:

  • San Antonio clinic – W Loop 1604 area
  • Bandera clinic
  • Rockport clinic

All visits are by appointment only. This helps us protect your time and maintain a calm, respectful environment.
