How Much Do House Calls Cost?

Many insurance plans, including Medicare, cover house calls when they are medically necessary and provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Elevate Health Group accepts all major insurances and verifies your coverage before scheduling, and self-pay rates are also available for patients without applicable coverage.

How to Schedule a Same-Day House Call

Scheduling starts with a call to our office to review your medical needs, which allows our provider to bring the right equipment and supplies to your home. Visits typically last 30 to 60 minutes depending on what is needed, and you will receive the same thorough examination and treatment planning you would get during an in-office visit.

Service Area Across Los Angeles

House calls are available to patients throughout the areas served by our Glendale, Burbank, and La CaƱada offices.
