Home Visits Q & A
What are home visits?
A home visit involves a medical professional coming to your house to provide diagnostic testing or treatment services when you’re unable to make it to the office due to illness, injury, or challenges like financial or travel limitations.
Align Family Medicine offers home visits for individuals who meet Medicare’s criteria for home visits due to physical or financial hardships.
Lauren meets with you in the comfort of your own home to ensure you receive the medical attention you need to stay healthy and free of pain and other life-altering symptoms. You can expect the same high level of care in your home as you receive in the office.
When would I need home visits?
You may qualify for Align Family Medicine’s home visits through Medicare if you have one or more chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and congestive heart failure, that require ongoing medical attention.
Other candidates for home visits include the elderly and adults with mobility issues. Those recovering from surgery or a recent hospital stay may also benefit from Lauren’s visits to their home for routine medical care.
If you’re not sure whether or not you qualify for home visits through Medicare, call the Align Family Medicine office and speak to the staff about your circumstances.
What happens during home visits?
During your initial home visit, Lauren reviews your personal and family medical history, discusses any symptoms you have, and asks questions about your lifestyle and diet.
You can also expect a comprehensive physical exam, which will give Lauren the opportunity to assess the function of your heart, lungs, joints, ears, and eyes. She also checks your weight, height, and blood pressure.
Align Family Medicine offers portable diagnostic tests, such as urine and blood testing. Lauren can also refer you for imaging tests and other diagnostics as needed.
In addition to providing any necessary treatments, Lauren makes educational resources available, allowing you to learn more about your health and how to improve it. She can also coordinate specialized care with other medical professionals when necessary.
