What a House Call Covers
A house call is a general in-person visit from a licensed provider for the kind of non-emergency issue that would otherwise mean a trip to urgent care: a cold that isn't clearing up, a minor infection, a medication question, a follow-up after a hospital stay, or anything you'd rather have looked at before it gets worse.
Your provider examines you, asks the questions a proper visit requires, and puts together a plan — that might mean a prescription, a referral, IV or injectable treatment on the spot, or simply reassurance and a clear next step.
How It Works
Request a visit online or by phone, and tell us what's going on. We'll confirm a window and send a licensed provider to your address.
Your provider brings the equipment for a real exam — not just a phone call — and can treat what they find on the spot when appropriate, or coordinate the next step if it needs more than a house call can cover.
When to Use This Instead of the ER
House calls are built for the visits that don't need a hospital, but do need a real medical evaluation. This is not for medical emergencies. If you or someone with you is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
