A visit from our provider is just like a visit to the doctor’s office but it occurs in the comfort of your home. The first visit, which takes between 1 to 2 hours, involves a complete history and physical and a home safety assessment. Follow up visits focus on addressing your concerns that have been raised since the last visit and treating symptoms to improve your quality of life. If you need to go to the hospital or if you have just returned from the hospital, we do our best to make the transition a smooth one.

On average, you will receive a routine visit every 2-4 months. The frequency of our visits depends on your needs.
You will receive a call 1-2 business days before the visit to let you know about the upcoming appointment. While we can provide you a time range in which to expect the clinician, we are not able to give exact appointment times because of the variable duration of the home visits prior to your own, travel time, and emergencies.

We are a Participating Provider in the Medicare Program (Part B). After the annual $223 (2023) deductible is met, Medicare pays for 80% of each visit. The remaining 20% will be submitted to your secondary insurer (including Medicaid), which usually covers the remainder of the bill. If you have no supplemental insurance, then you may be billed for 20% of our charge. Typical co-pays are between $25-55 per visit based upon complexity of condition and medical necessity.
If you have no insurance or are out-of-network, the cost of the initial visit and routine visit is $375 and $300, respectively.

Yes. We also bill your insurance (Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan) for the work of coordinating your care between visits. “Chronic care management” includes time spent in discussions between you, your pharmacist, your visiting nurse, hospitalists, and your specialists. If you have questions or concerns about this, please call us.
Alas, Medicare does not pay for everything, even for care that you or your family feel that you need to keep you healthy. Services that Medicare does not pay for include the time, effort and cost to reach your home. Some patients and family members have already been giving voluntarily and we thank you for that!

We encourage you to continue to see any specialists that you need to see.
If you are permanently homebound, you are recommended to transfer primary care to us. If you are in temporary need of a house call doctor (for example, you had a leg fracture), we can be your temporary primary care provider until you are able to return to your regular doctor.
