Medical House Calls

House Calls/Visiting Physician or TeleHealth

Would you rather receive your medical care at home than go into a health care facility ?

In addition to home health aides, nurses, and therapists, Nugen Home Health also provides patients with a visiting physician or provider who comes to you and provide quality medical care in the comfort of your own home either at the Assisted Living Facility or your private dwelling. To better serve out home health patients who generally have issues with limited mobility, and for added convenience, our providers make House Calls and/or use TeleHealth to help resolve everyday Acute medical problems, such as coughs & cold, UTI, ear aches, etc., as well as for chronic disease management, as needed.

Additionally, Telehealth visits prevent Medicare beneficiaries from unnecessary visits to a health care facility, thereby reducing the chance of secondary infections, when services can be effectively provided remotely.

Medicare/Medicaid/Private Insurance or No Insurance
If you have health insurance:
Your standard Medicare/Medicaid and/or Private Insurance coverage with applicable Co-Pays and Deductibles should apply for both the HouseCalls and TeleHealth visits, labs and imaging (if needed) for patients who have health insurance.

If you do not have health insurance coverage:
We can still see you. A standard home visit costs $235; this would include the medical history, physical evaluation and prescription, if needed. You would be given choices to ask for the analysis of several lab tests on-site at no cost for prioritized patients or at 70% for people with an insurance. Additional testing can be ordered off site; those costs are the responsibility of the patient. If you do not live in an Assisted Living Facility, prices may increase depending on the distance of travel to your home.
