About TruMedical Care

What is TruMedical Care?

TruMedical Care is a primary care practice at 255 Herndon Ave Ste 102 in Clovis, CA 93612. The phone number is (559) 550-6226. Google lists it as a family practice physician and shows a rating of 5 from 309 reviews. Primary care is the core of the practice. Weight management is one of several listed services, along with Preventive Care, Chronic Disease Management, Women's & Men's Health, Laser Aesthetics and Behavioral Health.

The two prescribers are David Peña, PA-C, who founded the practice, and Antonieta Silvia Acosta, PA-C. Both are physician assistants. Peña grew up the son of migrant farm workers and often interpreted for his family at medical appointments, and the practice grew out of that experience. Both providers list English and Spanish, and the team says it cares for patients in both languages. Laser hair removal is done with Lumenis Splendor X equipment. The practice does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy among its services. It does not say whether telehealth is offered, does not list office hours, and does not say how long it has been open.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight management or any other service, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is part of a weight plan. It also does not describe cash-pay terms, financing, HSA use or membership terms. The weight program is described this way: "Physician-guided, personalized weight loss plans built around your body, your goals, and your lifestyle."

The practice accepts most major insurance plans as well as Medicare. Named plans include Aetna Alignment Direct, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Health Net, Humana and UnitedHealthcare. It does not accept Medi-Cal at this time. Whether a weight management visit is covered depends on your specific plan, so confirm that before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the physician question. The weight plans are described as physician-guided, but both named prescribers are physician assistants. Ask who the supervising physician is and how involved that physician is in each plan. Next, ask whether the program fee includes medication, which medications are used, and whether GLP-1 medication is offered, since the practice does not say. Ask whether any medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what consultations, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed to insurance or charged separately. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, and what the cancellation terms are. If you are interested in hormone or peptide treatment, ask directly, because neither appears in the services list. If you have Medi-Cal, confirm that before anything else, since the practice does not accept it at this time. Ask for office hours when you call.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care office in Clovis that also runs weight management, and you plan to pay through insurance or Medicare. It is a weaker fit if you need cash-pay pricing or a program with fixed, published costs, since none are listed.
