How it works with your practice

DispatchHealth aligns with Care Management and Provider groups to extend your reach after-hours, on holidays or weekends and during capacity constraints, providing prompt medical intervention to patients experiencing high acuity needs.

Request an in-home visit

Providers request patient care by calling 833-788-1365. DispatchHealth provides personalized in-home medical care for everyone, including those with existing medical conditions.

Symptom review

DispatchHealth will review the patient’s symptoms over the phone to ensure in-home care is safe and appropriate.

DispatchHealth sends medical team to patient’s home

A physician assistant or nurse practitioner, along with a medical technician, will arrive at the patient’s home typically within two hours. An on ER physician is always available by phone for consults.

Aftercare

DispatchHealth will call in any prescriptions, print out discharge paperwork and send a detailed clinical summary to the primary care provider and any other pertinent care team members to ensure appropriate follow-up.

Billing

DispatchHealth bills Humana directly. Costs are roughly the same as a walk-in urgent care visit. On average, most patients pay anywhere from $5 - $50 after insurance.

Continuity of care

DispatchHealth integrates urgent medical care with that of a patient’s current healthcare team. Patients are always directed back to their primary care for follow up.

With DispatchHealth, you get insight into your patients’ health environment, while they get to avoid the ER.

People with acute or chronic illnesses, mental impairments, physical disabilities, and other medical conditions often face major challenges when trying to manage a trip to a distant and crowded medical facility. That’s one reason Humana has partnered with DispatchHealth, a mobile in-home medical resource that performs a wide array of acute care services within the comfort and safety of the patient’s home. But it’s more than that. DispatchHealth’s follow-up protocols ensure continuity with what you’re already offering—and give you vital insights into the social determinants of your patients’ health.
