Getting to a medical appointment is not always simple, whether because of mobility limitations, a demanding schedule, or simply not feeling well enough to sit in a waiting room. Doctor house calls bring the appointment to you instead, without sacrificing the quality of care you would receive in an office visit.

Elevate Health Group offers at-home visits throughout the greater Los Angeles area, bringing physicians directly to your home.

What's Included in a House Call

Comprehensive physical examinations and vital sign monitoring
Chronic disease management, including diabetes and hypertension
Medication reviews and adjustments
Vaccinations and preventive health services
Blood draws for laboratory testing
Follow-up care after a hospital stay

Who Benefits Most From House Calls

Situation	How House Calls Help
Mobility limitations	Avoids the physical strain of traveling to and waiting in an office
Chronic condition management	Enables regular monitoring without repeated trips to a clinic
Recent injury or hospitalization	Provides follow-up care during recovery without added travel
Busy schedules	Fits a medical visit into your day without the commute

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 Cañada offices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our providers bring equipment for physical exams, vital sign monitoring, blood draws, and vaccinations. Some specialized tests or procedures may still require an in-office visit.
