Frequently Asked Questions
What is a House Call Doctor?
A house call doctor is a licensed physician who provides medical consultations and treatment in the patient’s home or private location. This model revives a traditional approach to care—tailored, direct, and without the wait or hassle of traveling to a clinic. Whether it’s a minor illness, wellness screening, or ongoing care management, house call doctors offer many of the same services you would receive in a standard medical office.

Why Choose a House Call Doctor in New York City?
In a city as fast-paced as New York, navigating busy streets or crowded waiting rooms isn't always ideal—especially when you’re not feeling well. House call care eliminates the stress of commuting, parking, or sitting in a shared space with other sick individuals. Whether you live in a high-rise apartment in Midtown, a brownstone in Brooklyn, or a co-op on the Upper East Side, our physicians deliver prompt, professional medical care directly to you. It’s a convenient solution for busy professionals, families with young children, elderly patients, and anyone who values comfort and privacy.
How Fast Can I Book an Appointment with a House Call Doctor in NYC?
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, depending on your location and medical needs. Concierge MD provides flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate New York’s demanding lifestyle. Our team will work with you to find the earliest time that fits your schedule, with minimal wait and maximum convenience.
Does Insurance Cover a House Call Doctor in NYC?
Our services are primarily out-of-network and fee-for-service, though we provide a detailed superbill that patients can submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your specific out-of-network coverage. Concierge MD also accepts HSA and FSA payments for eligible services.
What Can Be Treated at Home?
House calls are well-suited for a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions. Patients commonly request visits for:
- Cold and flu symptoms
- Stomach issues (nausea, vomiting, food poisoning)
- Skin infections, rashes, and minor injuries
- Migraine or dehydration requiring IV fluids
- Allergic reactions (non-severe)
- Routine health screenings or checkups
If your condition requires emergency care, we will direct you to the appropriate facility. For everything else, our in-home doctors can provide high-quality care safely and efficiently.
