Is this service only for seniors?
While many of our patients are seniors, our mobile physician services are available to adults of all ages who meet eligibility criteria or face barriers to in-office care. We treat patients with physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, and post-operative needs, regardless of age.
What should I expect during the first visit?
Your first in-home visit will include:
- A comprehensive medical evaluation
- Review of medications and medical history
- Assessment of home safety and mobility needs
- Development of a personalized care plan
- Discussion of goals, preferences, and next steps
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported from day one.
Do you offer telemedicine appointments?
Yes, in addition to in-home visits, we offer telemedicine services when appropriate. These virtual appointments allow us to follow up, monitor symptoms, and provide guidance remotely, especially between in-person visits.
Are your services the same as home health care?
Not exactly. While we partner with home health agencies, our providers deliver physician-level medical care, including diagnosis, prescriptions, and ongoing treatment. Home health agencies often focus on services like nursing care, physical therapy, or wound care under our medical direction.
Can family members be present during visits?
Yes! We encourage family involvement in the care process. Loved ones are welcome to be present during visits and can help coordinate care and communication with our team.
How can Horizon Mobile Physician Services help prevent hospitalizations?
Through proactive monitoring, regular follow-ups, and early intervention, our mobile physicians can detect potential problems before they escalate. This reduces unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions, keeping patients safe and stable at home.
How do I transfer my records to your practice?
We make it simple. With your consent, we’ll contact your previous healthcare providers to securely transfer your medical records, test results, and medication lists. Our administrative team ensures a seamless transition of care.
What if I need urgent medical attention?
While we are not an emergency service, we offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent, non-life-threatening issues. For emergencies, patients should always call 911. After-hours support is available to assist with urgent questions or guidance.
We’re here to help. If you have any additional questions about Horizon Mobile Physician Services, feel free to contact us directly at 561-817-8274 or use our contact form.
