Why should I consider doing medical house calls?

How soon after I start my mobile medical practice will I start seeing patients?

If you follow the advice of HouseCall Doctors based on their 9.5 years of experience, you can start seeing patients immediately. However, we advise physicians the following:

  • HouseCall Doctors, LLC does not guarantee success – it is up to the individual physician as to how much time and effort he or she devotes to their medical house call practice.
  • We advise every physician to retain temporary employment (i.e. locum position two to four days/week) in order to cover personal expenses until their medical house call practice is successful.

Do insurance companies pay for medical house calls?

Yes. In fact, since 1998, Medicare reimbursed twice as much for medical house calls as compared to a conventional office visit. Private insurance companies also cover medical house calls.

Do I have to see Medicare or private insurance patients only?

No. Due to the tremendous marketing appeal of medical house calls (the physician going to the patient), the medical house call practice setting is an excellent business-to-consumer service that potential uninsured patients are willing to pay out -of-pocket for.
