Frequently Asked Questions

DispatchHealth is bringing back the house call with a modern technology twist. DispatchHealth gives patients ways to access convenient, high-quality acute care in the comfort of their home, office or in the location of need. DispatchHealth is redefining the healthcare landscape as an extension of a patient’s healthcare team and offering solutions for simple to complex medical problems all from the comfort of your home.

DispatchHealth’s providers are board-certified physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners with significant experience evaluating acute injuries and illness in the emergency department. In fact, our providers are the same providers that you may see in your local emergency room. DispatchHealth arrives on scene with a nurse practitioner and a medical technician via our vehicle with a board-certified ER physician always available virtually. Using the DispatchHealth mobile app to request care even allows for the healthcare consumer to see which providers from the DispatchHealth medical team will be arriving to treat you, allowing for an additional sense of security and comfort.

DispatchHealth can treat just about anything that can be seen in an urgent care center and a few more things. Examples include respiratory infections (such as bronchitis, croup), sinusitis, sore throat (strep, mono), urine and skin infections, minor trauma (sprains, minor breaks), lacerations, nosebleeds, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, vomiting/diarrhea, inability to urinate, constipation and dehydration.

Our mobile practitioners arrive with more advanced laboratory testing capability than most urgent care centers. The results are immediately available and help direct your care. We also can administer IV medications and antibiotics, repair lacerations, place catheters, cauterize and pack nosebleeds, and splint injured extremities. Your entire visit can be communicated with your doctor to ensure continuity of care.

No. DispatchHealth is a complement to your physician and home health care. Our goal is to help integrate our care with that of your current caregivers.

DispatchHealth visits typically run between $150-$300 and the percentage of the total bill you’re responsible for is determined by your insurance plan. On average, most patients pay $5-$50 after insurance. Note that if you have a high deductible plan, you will need to meet your deductible before your insurance will cover the cost.

This flat rate is for everything that we do, which includes medications delivered, procedures performed, and any lab tests obtained.
