How does a HouseCalls visit work?
We will send a licensed clinician (nurse practitioner, physician assistant or physician) directly to your home to discuss your healthcare needs and create a plan specifically for you. You pick the date and time that will work best for your schedule.
Who can have a HouseCalls visit?
Check with your health plan to see if HouseCalls is an option for you or call our office with any questions. HouseCalls accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and will bill secondary insurance for any co-pays, if needed. We also work with most private insurances and will verify benefits and let you know if you will be responsible for any charges.
What happens during a HouseCalls visit?
During this visit a licensed clinician will:
- Review your medical history
- Discuss any health concerns you may have and provide answers and information about them
- Perform a wellness check-up that includes: physical assessment, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, etc.
- Review the medications you are taking
- Arrange for any lab tests that may be needed
- Assess your living conditions and how they may affect your health
- If necessary, refer you to more specialized care programs
What People Are Saying
“We are so grateful for HouseCalls. They are always prompt with an answer or they get back to us quickly. Office staff are always pleasant, concerned, and friendly. If someone needs to be seen, it is arranged right away. It’s a blessing not to have to bundle the patient up for an offsite doctor’s visit, or find coverage for the other residents. Add in the other home services such as: blood draws, x-rays, physical therapists, and more, and HouseCalls is indispensable to us. We greatly value each member of your team! It makes being a caregiver easier. It’s great to know you’re only a phone call away. Obviously, you’re a group of highly dedicated people and we want you to know how grateful we are. Thank you so very much!” – Jan Oles, Owner, Oak Crest Adult Foster Care Home, Niles
