Membership Plans

Yes, everyone will have the same options under this new membership plan.

You may schedule an appointment immediately with a non-membership FNP or PA. However, if you wish to schedule with your current PCP, appointments may be limited. If no appointments are available, you will then only be able to schedule with a non-membership FNP or PA.

Patients who elect not to participate in a membership program are still welcome to be seen at TCIM and at our sister clinic Abundant Health (phone number (951) 331-4020). You will be assigned to a new-hire advanced practitioner (FNP or PA) who will be trained in primary care but will likely not have extensive functional medicine training. Should you decide not to continue your care with TCIM or Abundant Health, we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition to your new primary care provider.

You will enjoy:

• Referrals for integrative and functional medicine treatments at TCIM for Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and IV Therapy

• Annual Executive Physical

• Portal access for messaging will be limited to simple requests such as medication refills and appointment requests that will be handled by the medical assistant but there will not be direct messaging to the provider.

• There will be temporary access to your current provider until their membership panels are full, but membership patients will have priority access to scheduling and appointment times
