At HousecallsNY.org, our goal is to make in home medical treatment a simple process for the patient using the service and the healthcare professional referring the patient. Before making a referral, a health care professional should determine if a patient is suitable for the HousecallsNY.org service. Following are the types of patients that are able to utilize this service:

•Non-mobile or geriatric patients
•Patients who are too weak to get out of bed
•Patients who are unable to leave their home
•Patients that are disabled

If a patient qualifies, they can sign up for our service by simply filling out our registration and medical release forms and returning them to our office. Click here to print out the forms or contact our office at (212) 740-6400 and we will send them to you.

Once those forms are completed, a patient or a family member can set up an appointment by calling our 24 hour scheduling service. House call appointments can be arranged immediately or can be scheduled at whatever time is convenient for the patient.

A doctor will visit patients on a regular basis, as often as needed or medically necessary. House calls can generally be made within 24 to 48 hours of the request from the patient, family, nurse or caregiver. Our scheduling department will call and confirm appointments within the 24 hours before each visit. Due to circumstances beyond our control, such as traffic and patient emergencies, it is difficult to provide exact times.

Payment can be made at the time services are performed. Following the visit, patients may then submit claims to their insurance companies for reimbursement. We will supply all the necessary billing codes and paperwork for patients to send to their insurance company. If additional help is required, our bilingual staff is available to assist patients coordinate paperwork with other healthcare providers.
