Mobile Physician Services (MPS) is a practice of doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who make house calls to homebound patients. We specialize in the treatment of patients with complex medical needs.

MPS is one of the only house call practices in the United States that has both primary care and specialist providers on staff. Our team of professionals enables us to deliver convenient, comprehensive services to treat the whole patient.

MPS was established in 2006 to fill an unmet need for medical care among patients who were unable to leave their homes or who had difficulty getting to a physician’s office. Often these patients had complex chronic conditions that required ongoing medical care. Without proper care, their condition would worsen, and the patients eventually would require emergency care or admission to a hospital – at a high cost to both patients and payers.

At MPS our approach centers around providing ongoing primary care with specialty services as needed. This enables us to monitor patients’ conditions and address problems before they become urgent, reducing the need for emergency care and hospital admission and improving patients’ quality of life.

Headquartered in New Port Richey, Florida, our practice continues to grow each year. In addition to providing in-home services, we also work with assisted living facilities and hospitals to provide ongoing or post-procedure care.

REcent Updates

Making sense of Medicare isn’t easy. Parts, A, B, C, D; HMOs; PFFS plans; SNPs. Navigating the system can feel like learning to code… blindfolded… with one hand tied behind your back. The point is, it can be overwhelmingly complicated. But at MD at Home one of our goals is to make quality healthcare easier to access and understand, so in this post we’re decoding the ins and outs of Medicare Advantage Plans, from A to Z.

No one wants to think about the likelihood of unfortunate events. Death, accidents, illness - we avoid these topics like the plague (both literally and figuratively). Why? Because they make us sad, because they make us uncomfortable, because sometimes superstition gets the best of us and we don’t want to tempt fate. But as difficult as they may be, these are important conversations to have with your loved ones or potential caregivers now, so that if and when the time comes, your wishes are clear. What we’re talking about is an advance healthcare directive. Here’s everything you need to know.

In 1930, house calls were standard practice for physicians, accounting for approximately 40 percent of patient visits. By 1950, this number had fallen to 10 percent, and by 1980, only about 1 percent of patient visits happened in the home. But as they say, everything old is new again, and with the coming demographic changes, it seems doctors may be making more home visits in the near future.

Diabetes and depression can each be conditions with devastation consequences on their own, let alone when a single individual suffers from both. Often times, the symptoms of one can exaggerate and accelerate the symptoms of the other, but fear not! There are a few simple steps you can follow to alleviate the symptoms and prevent the onset of both.

MD at Home provides home care, home medical doctors, and housecall physicians to patients in need with a focus on p reventing readmissions during the transition from an acute care setting to the home. For over 20 years, we’ve served as the premier healthcare resource for primary care and geriatric medicine for homebound patients in the Chicagoland area. Partnering alongside some of Chicago’s most established and respected institutions, we tailor our programs toward modern guidelines with an unwavering focus on clinical excellence, patient satisfaction, and measured clinical outcomes.   Our continuum of care and individual care plans highlight the importance of readmission reduction and high level transitions from the hospital to the home setting. MD at Home is transforming healthcare through our collaborative, proactive, and preventative approach to patient health.

Our approach reduces unnecessary hospitalizations and focuses on helping patients and caregivers better manage individual health from the comfort of their home.  Through our expertise in primary care and geriatric medicine, our licensed clinicians deliver a comprehensive approach in the management of chronic conditions to homebound patients, and our highly trained physicians and nurses are certified to perform most of the same services offered in a physician's office.  MD at Home is transforming reactive, crisis-oriented care into proactive, preventive medicine, reducing unnecessary emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and 30-day readmissions.

Who Qualifies for a Housecall Visit?

Patients with difficulty leaving home due to a mobility limitation, patients with difficulty leaving the home due to cognitive impairment, patients who require the use of special transportation to leave the home, patients with an inability to leave the home and for whom leaving the home requires taxing effort, patients requiring the assistance of another person to leave the home, patients for whom leaving the home is medically contradictory due to the patient's medical condition, accepted insurance.

MD at Home accepts the following insurance policies:

• Medicare Part B
• Medicare Pametto GBA
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (XOF, R, XOX)
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (XOS - Must have Medicare Part B as primary insurance)
• Aetna (PPO)
• United Health Care (PPO)
• United Medical Resources (PPO)

Physician Careers

MD at Home is hiring Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. Physicians with MD at Home have a luxury many other medical doctors severely lack: time . Unlike a typical seven minute visit, our physicians spend an hour or more with each patient, gaining a holistic view of the patient's health within their native environment. This not only means more insight into the patient's daily life, but also into their care support system, including interacting with family members and caregivers. This not only leads to better care for patients , but better lives for our doctors. Our physicians only work typical workday hours, allowing them to spend more time with their families, avoiding obscure hospital rounds or late nights. Our physicians using cutting-edge EMR technology to maintain up-to-date health records for each and every patient so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

House Call Doctor Visits Make Life Easier for Seniors and Caregivers

Important: This is an informational article to explain how house call doctor visits can benefit seniors. DailyCaring isn’t a medical organization, we aren’t medical professionals, and we aren’t affiliated with any healthcare organizations. We aren’t qualified to respond to any medical questions.

House call doctor visits benefit older adults and caregivers

Getting your older adult to the doctor’s office for an appointment can be difficult or sometimes impossible.

Whether they’re frail, can’t walk on their own, or have Alzheimer’s or dementia , getting out of the house is hard on both of you. Going to a doctor’s office can also expose seniors to germs or harsh weather.

We explain what a house call doctor is, what type of insurance they accept, how to find one, and what to look for in terms of services.

What is a house call doctor?

Today, many doctors are bringing back the old practice of visiting patients in their homes. With house calls, older adults don’t have to go through the stress and difficulty of getting to the doctor’s office. And neither do you.

Another bonus is that these doctors usually spend more time with patients. You won’t have to fit all your questions into a 15 minute visit.

Just remember that house calls aren’t for emergency situations (call 911 instead). They’re basically like a regular office visit.

Do they accept Medicare?

Yes, many house call doctors accept Medicare , private insurance, and sometimes Medicaid . It usually costs the same as a regular office visit.

But every house call doctor is different, so make sure you understand their fees and accepted insurance plans before making an appointment.

How to find a house call doctor

Some large health care systems like Kaiser Permanente or the VA have programs that include home visits by doctors and nurses. For example, Kaiser’s home-based palliative care program includes house calls.

Even your older adult isn’t part of a large health network, it’s worthwhile to ask your older adult’s doctor if they have home doctor visit programs.

The American Academy of Home Care Medicine’s provider directory is another way to locate a house call doctor in your area.

You can also use Google to search for “house call doctor” + your city or county or “home doctor visit” + your city or county (don’t include the quotation marks).

What to look for in a house call doctor

Before booking an appointment, make sure you understand the doctor’s services, fees, and billing.

Questions to ask:

• Do you specialize in treating seniors, people with Alzheimer’s or dementia , or those with  multiple chronic conditions ?
• Do you accept Medicare , Medicaid , or my older adult’s private insurance plan?
• If we want, can we also keep my older adult’s primary care doctor?
• Will you communicate with my older adult’s existing doctors and specialists so their care is coordinated?

Examples of house call doctor private practices

We want to be clear that we’re not recommending any specific home doctor services or companies and aren’t affiliated with any of these businesses. These are examples to give you an idea of what a house call doctor looks like and the type of services that are typically offered.

Examples of what a house call doctor looks like:

• Visiting Physicians Association (VPA)
• Bay Area House Call Physicians
• Kindred House Calls

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. Since you’re noticing some issues with your recovery, it’s essential to call your primary doctor immediately.

HouseCalls is check-in care that comes to you

Did you know you can set up a yearly preventive care visit at home.

UnitedHealthcare® HouseCalls — our yearly in-home health and wellness service — is a health plan feature for Medicare and Medicaid members, offered at no additional cost to you. It’s a way to help our members stay on top of their health between regular doctor visits.

Why is a HouseCalls visit a good idea?

Benjamin Franklin said it best, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We agree. The goal of our preventive care visits is to help you maintain your independence and continue doing what you love long into the future. We know there’s no way to prevent all health emergencies and accidents, but we believe that by taking care of yourself, you may be able to improve your odds of avoiding them. That’s where HouseCalls comes in. 

UnitedHealthcare® HouseCalls

Video transcript.

These days, you can have just about anything delivered to your door.

How about a home delivery of good health and wellness? It comes from UnitedHealthcare and is called HouseCalls.

HouseCalls is a yearly health and wellness visit that happens in the privacy of your very own home. No driving to an appointment. No sitting in a waiting room.

Here’s how it works.

Our HouseCalls team finds a time that’s convenient for you and schedules the visit. A health care practitioner, a physician’s assistant, medical doctor or nurse practitioner, comes to you at the scheduled time. The clinician completes a health evaluation, including a physical exam and other important screenings, then YOU decide what happens next.

You can discuss questions to ask your doctor at your next appointment, review instructions from your last doctor’s appointment or chat about other health concerns you haven’t had a chance to talk to your doctor about. Whatever you need.

The visit takes about 45-minutes to an hour – plenty of time to answer your important health questions.

Your practitioner will even send a summary of your HouseCalls visit to your doctor.

And unlike those other home deliveries – there’s no additional cost for a HouseCalls visit, it’s a feature of your medical plan. If you’re in good health or you already see your doctor regularly – you might not think HouseCalls is for you, but it is. Think of it as an extra layer of care – valuable one-on-one time you don’t always get in the doctor’s office.

So, when you get a phone call from our HouseCalls team – take advantage of this great program and schedule your HouseCalls visit. Or just call us and make an appointment!

It’s Easy. It’s Convenient. It’s UnitedHealthcare HouseCalls. 

What to expect during a HouseCalls visit

During a HouseCalls visit, you’ll meet with the same types of professionals you’d see in a doctor’s office — a licensed physician or nurse practitioner. They’ll answer your health-related questions, perform a physical exam and offer a health screening in the comfort of your own home. If you choose, your family members, loved ones or caregivers are welcome to sit in on this visit and ask additional questions. A typical visit will range from 45 minutes to a full hour.

The results of your exam and screening will be forwarded to your primary care provider (PCP) and you’ll receive a summary of your visit in the mail. 

During your visit, here are some typical topics you'll cover

• An overview of your medical history and prescription medications
• Conversations about overall well-being, like how to help you stay active, sleep well and manage stress
• Tips on to help you avoid trip hazards in your home
• Community resources and support

Open the door to the convenience of a medical visit in your home

Meet with licensed medical staff on your schedule, in the convenience of your home. Once they arrive, talk about health concerns at your pace (the visits are focused on you and you alone). Use the results to help coordinate care with your doctor. 

• Be prepared to provide a urine sample during your visit—drink fluids in advance
• Wear shoes or slippers that are easy to remove (your feet will be checked)
• Know where to find medication bottles so they are ready to review 
• If applicable, have blood pressure readings available for review
• If you have diabetes, please provide blood sugar test results, as well as your blood glucose meter 

Remember, at the end of your visit, you’ll receive a personalized checklist of topics to discuss with your doctor at your next appointment. Plus, you and your doctor will receive a mailed summary of your visit.

What to Expect During an At-Home Doctor Visit

In an era where healthcare is evolving to meet the demands of our fast-paced lives, at-home doctor visits have emerged with a focus on patient-centered care. These visits offer the promise of receiving medical attention in the comfort of your own space. But what exactly can you anticipate during an at-home doctor visit? It’s important to understand the process, from the moment your healthcare provider arrives at your doorstep to the conclusion of your appointment.

What Happens During At-Home Doctor Visits?

From the initial evaluation to the formulation of treatment plans, at-home doctor visits promise a comprehensive and patient-centered healthcare experience. The journey begins with an in-depth assessment of your health, mirroring the standards of care delivered in traditional clinical settings, and continues with personalized care strategies tailored to you.

Initial Evaluation and Consultation

The first step in an at-home doctor visit is the initial evaluation and consultation. This is when you’ll get to know your healthcare provider and discuss your medical history, current health concerns, and any questions you may have. During this consultation, your doctor will ask you about your overall health, family medical history, lifestyle, and any specific concerns you have. This information helps them gain a complete understanding of your health and tailor their approach to your needs.

Physical Examination

After the initial consultation, your doctor will perform a physical examination. While this may vary depending on your specific medical conditions and concerns, a standard physical examination may include checking your vital signs (such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature), listening to your heart and lungs, and examining your skin, eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

Diagnostic Testing

If necessary, your doctor may order diagnostic tests during the at-home visit. These tests could include blood work, urinalysis, or imaging studies like x-rays or ultrasounds. The convenience of having these tests done at home saves you time and reduces the hassle of visiting a separate lab or imaging center.

Discussion and Diagnostic Information

Once the initial evaluation, consultation, and any necessary tests are completed, your doctor will discuss their findings with you. They will explain your diagnosis, if applicable, and provide information about your condition. This is an excellent time to ask questions and seek clarification on any medical terms or treatment options you may not fully understand. Your doctor will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that takes your preferences and lifestyle into account

Treatment Plan Implementation

After discussing your treatment options, your doctor will initiate the treatment plan. This may involve prescribing medications, recommending lifestyle changes, or providing immediate medical interventions. The advantage of at-home doctor care is that you can start your treatment plan right away.

Follow-Up Planning

Your doctor visit at home visit isn’t a one-time event; it’s part of an ongoing healthcare relationship. Your doctor will work with you to establish a follow-up plan, which may include additional at-home visits or referrals to specialists if needed. This ensures that your health is continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan can be made promptly.

How to Prepare for Your First Doctor Visit at Home

Preparing for your first at-home doctor visit is essential to ensure a smooth and productive appointment. Here are some steps to help you get ready:

• Gather Your Medical Records : Collect your medical records, including past diagnoses, medications, and any relevant medical history. Having this information readily available will help the doctor assess your health more effectively.
• Compile a List of Medications : Make a list of all the medications you are currently taking, including dosage and frequency. Include over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and vitamins. This will help the doctor avoid potential interactions.
• Create a List of Questions : Jot down any questions or concerns you have about your health. It’s easy to forget them at the moment, so having a list ensures you get the answers you need.
• Prepare a Comfortable Space : Clear a comfortable and well-lit area in your home for the doctor’s visit. Ensure good visibility and access to electrical outlets if any equipment or diagnostic tests are needed.
• Have Identification and Insurance Information Ready : Keep your identification (such as a driver’s license) and insurance information nearby for verification purposes.

To get you preventive care in home, we work with the experienced team at Signify Health®. They’ll answer all your health questions. And share a visit summary with your doctor to keep them in the loop.

Hear from one member, Nancy* , about how a Healthy Home Visit found a blood flow issue — and alerted her doctor to get her the care she needed.

Transcript: Nancy Baton, Aetna Medicare Advantage Member

Hi, my name is Nancy Baton. I am a retired high school principal and middle school principal. And I am truly enjoying my retirement.

I live with my husband, and I’ve been married to Bill for, it’ll be 38 years this summer. We have two children, grown children, and I have 5 grandsons.

When it came time for me to enroll in Medicare, I wanted the one with the least amount of hassles. And I had been told what a great health plan Aetna has. That’s why I chose Aetna and I’m very happy I did.

Every year Aetna offers the opportunity for a Healthy Home Visit. The nice part about the HHV is I don’t go anywhere. The nurse comes here to me. So I’m comfortable in my own environment. I don’t have to leave the house. And It’s just nice to have somebody come to you for a change.

It was a registered nurse and she spent about an hour and a half. Goes over my medications. Checks my blood pressure. And then said to me she thought I have a problem with circulation. So she did a test on me and my doctor called me and said you need to see a vascular surgeon. And I’m under his care. Now I never would have caught something that could be potentially very dangerous had that nurse not come to my home.

Having the support of Aetna and not having to worry about bills or paperwork or is this covered. I didn’t have any of that. All I do now is concentrate on my recovery.

If you’re not healthy, you’re not going anywhere. So Aetna has helped me stay on track.

Mamata Banerjee ’is self-centric megalomaniac’: BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari on Bengal CM’s speech at Kolkata protest site

West bengal chief minister mamata banerjee made a surprise visit the doctor's protest site on saturday. taking out snippets from her speech there, bjp leader suvendu adhikari “boasted about herself” 76 times while addressing the doctors..

Banerjee made a surprise visit the doctor's protest site on Saturday. She delivered a speech, addressing the doctors seeking justice for the 31-year-old trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered in the RG Kar medical College and Hospital's seminar hall.

Taking out snippets from her speech, Suvendu Adhikari posted on X, "I, me, myself, mine"...76 times in 9 min 26 seconds. That's how much CM Mamata Banerjee referred to and boasted about herself while addressing the Junior Doctors yesterday, when she visited their makeshift camp near Swasthya Bhawan."

He said, “This is her personality all about, it's all about herself. She is a self centric megalomaniac. That's why it's extremely difficult to find a solution to end the deadlock amicably.”

During her speech, Banerjee told the protesters on Saturday that this was her last attempt to reach out to the doctor s. She assured the protesting doctors that she would look into their demands and take action if anyone was found guilty.

"I came to meet you as your 'didi' [sister] not as the chief minister," she was quoted by news agency PTI as saying. "I assure you that I will study your demands and take action if someone is found guilty," she added, urging the protesting doctors to return to work.

After the chief minister concluded her speech and left the site, the agitating doctors said they were not ready to compromise on their demands till discussions were held.

These protests have affected the public healthcare infrastructure of the state. The government claimed that 29 people have died due to the protests allegedly after not receiving treatment, news agency PTI reported.
