Primary care providers

We know primary care providers have a special relationship with their patients. Housecalls of Augusta would be honored to partner with you in the care of your patients. 

- HOSPITALS 

-   Patients discharged from the hospital setting are often weak and less mobile than they were prior to the hospitalization. These factors make it difficult for them to make the trip to their primary care physician’s office; therefore they meet Medicare’s homebound criteria and qualify for home visits. 

-  Housecalls of Augusta can eliminate re-hospitalization risk factors by visiting patients in the safety and comfort of their own homes. Close coordination with the hospital discharge planner allows the patient to be seen within 2-3 days of hospital discharge. Housecalls of Augusta providers can continue to see the patient as often as necessary until the patient feels well enough to return to a regular physician. The patient may elect to keep Housecalls of Augusta as their primary care provider. Obviously, patients who enter the hospital and have not been previously followed by a primary care provider can elect to have Housecalls of Augusta assume this critical role on an ongoing basis. 

- INSURANCE COMPANIES 

o Medicare has continued to introduce new billing codes to encourage home-based primary care services. Having a provider in the patient’s home allows for a much better assessment of environmental and caregiving factors that may greatly impact the patient’s health. The reality of a patient’s daily life is difficult to assess in a 15-minute clinic visit, and yet is often the most influential factor in their ability to comply with the treatment plan and to recover. .
