Why House Calls
Elderly patients rely on their relatives to take them to clinics for regular check ups or treatment. The trip to clinic can become an ordeal for the patients, adding to their anxiety and making them tired.
Instead of patients visiting clinics, a Visiting Providers Office sends doctors and medical assistants to patients homes. Relatives don’t have to miss their work to bring patients to the clinics. The doctors visit at home is like a friend’s visit.
For past 15 years, visiting providers have gained popularity among elderly patients. Medicare has acknowledged increase in reimbursements in this sector of the market because it costs less for examinations and treatment at home compared with treatment at hospitals or clinics
