House Calls Q & A
What is included in a house call?
When the Healthcare Professionals make a house call to a patient, they bring their expertise and knowledge to the patient’s home to provide the best possible quality care. The Healthcare Professionals tailor the visit to meet the needs of their patients.
They will perform a physical examination and collect your medical history and reasons for requesting the house call. If necessary the Healthcare Professionals may draw blood for testing or perform any urgent treatments, such as stitches. The Healthcare Professionals will prescribe any medications or treatment plans for their patients.
If the reason for the house call is a true emergency, the Healthcare Professionals will advise on the next steps for treatment including trips to the emergency room.
When should I request a house call?
Patients request house calls for many reasons. Some may be too sick to come into the office or may not want to expose themselves to other people with contagious illnesses, some may have transportation issues. Others may have sustained an injury and not want to travel.
The Healthcare Professionals make house calls for primary care as well as sports medicine services, so for example, if an athlete injures him or herself, the Healthcare Professionals can make a house call to examine the injury and prescribe the best treatment. This allows the patient to rest and not risk making the injury worse by trying to get into the office for treatment.
What are the benefits of house calls?
There are a number of benefits to house calls from doctors. First, patients with mobility issues have greater access to care. Those with injuries or contagious illnesses can rest at home instead of risking exposure to other illnesses or a chance of increasing the injury.
These visits also allow the Healthcare Professionals to understand more detail about a patient’s lifestyle and environment that can help them to provide better diagnosis and treatment. House calls can also help patients save money by avoiding expensive trips to the emergency room.
