Expert Primary Care to Keep You Healthy

Medicare may cover primary care at home when services are medically necessary and provided by an eligible healthcare provider. Coverage depends on the patient's benefits and the type of care received. Many patients also qualify for additional services such as patient monitoring services when appropriate.

Not necessarily. A doctor house call is often billed through Medicare or private insurance similarly to an office visit, depending on your coverage. Receiving medical care at home can also reduce transportation costs and help prevent unnecessary emergency department visits.

During a doctor's home visit, your provider will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, discuss your symptoms, manage medications, and develop or update your treatment plan. If needed, your provider may also coordinate services such as portable X-ray at home, laboratory testing, or specialist referrals.

Many Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and private insurance plans provide coverage for mobile primary care and other medically necessary physician home care services. Coverage varies by plan, so it's best to verify your benefits before scheduling a visit.

Primary care providers commonly diagnose and manage high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory infections, high cholesterol, arthritis, heart disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depression, and thyroid disorders. Ongoing diabetes care management and home monitoring for COPD can help many patients manage these conditions more effectively while remaining at home.

Depending on provider availability and your location, same day doctor home visit appointments may be available for non-life-threatening illnesses and urgent medical concerns. Patients who need prompt evaluation may also benefit from mobile urgent care services when appropriate.

Yes. Your home healthcare provider can coordinate a wide range of services based on your health needs, including specialist referrals, wound nurse at home visits, wound treatment, podiatry house call services, diagnostic testing, and ongoing care management to ensure seamless treatment.
