Frequently asked questions

How do I make an appointment?

Please call 602-380-6012 Monday - Friday between 8:30am and 6:30 pm.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept Medicare. We are also negotiating with other health plans. Please call us to see if your health plan pays for house calls.

How much does it cost?

For uninsured patients, the fee is between $205 and $250 for the initial visit, follow-up visits are between $100 and $150 depending on complexity. The fee is payable at the time of the visit. We accept checks, Visa and Mastercard.  

What should I do if I have an life threatening emergency?

Contact 911 immediately. A doctor driving his own car cannot come to your house as quickly as an ambulance.

What are the hours of operation?

Our visiting hours are Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 6:30 pm. For after hours questions, please call the same number: 602/380-6012.

How are prescriptions handled?

Prescriptions can be called in to your favorite pharmacy. For patients in certain facilities we can arrange for a mobile pharmacy service to deliver them to your facility.

How do I get blood tests and X-rays?

We work with mobile services that come to your house, just like we do. These services are billed directly to your insurance.

What if I need additional services such as referrals to specialists, or home health?

We can contact your favorite specialist or recommend one. Home health can be arranged as well. We coordinate with home health agencies to help you maintain independent living.

How do we involve our families in our care?

Family members are kept informed as you request and require. They are welcome to attend our house visits and discuss your care with the doctor in person.

What hospitals do you use?

We do not direct our patients to any particular hospital. However, your insurance may require you to go to a certain facility.

Who takes care of me while I am in the hospital?

Most health plans require patients to use a specialist called a “hospitalist doctor” to care for you in the hospital. These are physicians who work in hospitals only and do not have private offices. After discharge, we can continue to see you in your home again, as before.
