It was wonderful to know that someone would come to the house within a few hours. Every experience we’ve had with them has been excellent. Whenever they leave, they know how grateful we are that they came to our house and helped us.

Marianne K.
I’ve used DispatchHealth several times, and the care is consistently great. I feel totally confident calling them.

Michelle B.
They brought everything you would see in an emergency room, but the emergency room was our bedroom! They set up an IV. They knew what they were doing. And they were very personable. We never felt rushed. And the insurance covered it all. We didn’t have to pay a dime.

Common Questions

Yes. DispatchHealth is a different kind of healthcare. We believe that often the best place for care, recovery and healing is where you’re most comfortable — right at home. And many types of care can be delivered at home just as effectively as in a traditional urgent care clinic, emergency room or hospital.

We treat many of the same conditions that are traditionally handled in an emergency room or hospital, including serious and chronic concerns. Please visit our Services Overview to understand the types of care we offer, or see our Condition page for a list of common health concerns we treat and support.

The co-pay for a same-day medical care visit ranges from $0-$45. Your insurance company determines your exact bill, since costs can vary depending on your coverage and whether or not you’ve met your annual deductible. If you’re unsure about your coverage details, it’s always a good idea to check with your health plan.

We employ physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and registered nurses – the same kinds of experienced healthcare professionals you might find in an emergency room or hospital. When you schedule same-day medical care at home, a healthcare professional will come to your house, with additional virtual support from the team depending on your needs. An emergency medicine doctor is on call at all times.

Many factors go into planning visits each day. Things like how many people need our help, where they live, how urgent their needs are, and the healthcare professionals we have available all play a part. We also partner with value-based care networks (i.e. insurers, hospitals, health systems, physician groups, etc.) to take care of their high-need patients who come first when scheduling.
