Imagine practicing with no managed care or HMOs? It’s possible!

There are several reasons why physicians should consider moving on from their office or hospital-based positions and start their own medical house call practice. Why? Well, many physicians of today are subject to the plight of many things that work against them – no free time, non-flexible work schedules, and the managed care and HMO model for taking care of their patients. This type of approach is commonly referred to as a “treat them and street them” medical method. While this type of medicine works out great for meeting the managed care quotas, in the end it turns out to be bad medicine for both the physician and the patient. It benefits nobody except for maybe the non-medical “bean counter” CEO.

Open a House Call Practice and Experience Freedom from Managed Care and HMOs

How is this possible? With medical house calls you no longer are obligated to accept HMO/managed care plans. You can see patients who have Medicare, Medicare with Medicaid, Medicare with Supplemental insurance, and patients with private insurance plans. There is also a large population of uninsured patients in the United States in the 19-63 year old age range who are willing to pay cash for a medical house call from a physician. Besides, as a physician, you want to be able to order x-rays, lab work, ultrasounds, CAT Scans, and MRIs without having to get prior authorization; that is why you attended medical school; to practice medicine.

In this harried world, practicing medicine can be more a chore than anything. But that’s not why you attended medical school. You did it because you are passionate about what you do and want to help people. So what is stopping you from starting your own medical house call practice today?

Is a Medical House Call Practice Really for You?

If you’re on the HouseCall Doctors site, it is a good chance that you’re thinking about starting your own medical house call practice or medical franchise. Congratulations on making one of the best decisions you may ever make as a physician! Before you delve into your new venture though, make sure that this type of health care business opportunity is for you.

If you answer ‘yes’ to one or more of the following, you should consider a medical house call practice, or other form of niche medical practice:

1.) Do you have a strong desire to spend more quality time with your patients?
2.) Do you love practicing medicine and dislike when technicalities get in the way?
3.) Are you tired of rushing from patient to patient in a busy medical office?
4.) Does the idea of a non-traditional medical office appeal to you?
5.) Would you enjoy being able to set your own schedule?
6.) Does the thought of reducing your interaction with insurance companies appeal to you? Many house call practices do not accept insurance claims at all; others will only file certain types of private insurance or Medicare claims. However, once you set up a medical house call practice, you can actually pick and choose which insurance companies to deal with on claims. The choice of many house call doctors is to give their patients the necessary paperwork, and then let the patient file the claim. This reduction in paperwork and hassle alone is enough for many doctors to choose to set up this type of niche medical practice!
7.) Are you interested in narrowing your procedure focus and becoming more of a general practitioner? Like the country doctors of days gone by, a modern house call doctor will usually cease performing intricate medical procedures and diagnostic tests. The environment of the home makes it unreasonable to try to perform surgical procedures that are more extensive than simple stitches for a clean wound. Although there are house call doctors who have contracts with local diagnostic labs, this type of doctor usually finds that there are fewer instances when labs are required as they focus more on patient wellness and general well-being. Entering someone’s home to perform basic medical services will make a family doctor seem more like an actual part of the family; which is a real draw for physicians who want a more personal relationship with their patients.

Welcome to the World of Medical House Calls

Are you a physician tired of the common problems associated with today’s volatile healthcare industry? Problems such as high overhead, low reimbursement costs, and long, strenuous hours? If so, join the growing number of physicians who are leaving the traditional office and hospital settings and entering the world of medical house call visits.

Although what is largely considered as an age-old form of medical practice, house call visits of today allow the physician to integrate his or her house visits with the latest and greatest of medicinal new-age technology.
