The Care You Need, When You Need It
At DispatchHealth, our mobile healthcare teams are the backbone of everything we do. Every mobile healthcare team consists of two medical professionals: a physician assistant or nurse practitioner along with a DispatchHealth Medical Technician (DHMT). Together, these professionals deliver the expert medical care our patients need, and always with a compassionate attitude. To ensure our healthcare teams have the best support possible, an emergency room physician is always available by phone.
People We Serve
We’re redefining the healthcare system here at DispatchHealth. From pediatric patients to geriatric patients, we can provide prompt healthcare services for just about any person and any concern. Our services are especially ideal for homebound individuals and those dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, chronic conditions, social phobias, and disabilities. Best of all, we are in-network with many major health insurance companies, including Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Humana, among others. Most patients pay between $5 and $50 after insurance, depending on the type of plan they have. Self-pay patients can expect a flat rate of $375.
