What is it called when the doctor comes to your home?A house call is medical consultation performed by a doctor or other healthcare professionals visiting the home of a patient or client, instead of the patient visiting the doctor's clinic or hospital. In some locations, families used to pay dues to a particular practice to underwrite house calls.
Why do doctors not do house calls anymore?We think the reason doctors rarely make house calls is money. Doctors can charge, but it is hard to charge enough to justify the time it takes to drive door-to-door, fill the tank and attend lengthy visits. Thus, the house call has faded into history.
Why would a doctor make a house call?Because a house call doctor actually sees the patient in a home or residential setting, the physician can evaluate the patient's home safety needs, level of caregiving, and level of necessary socialization. The doctor can then make the necessary recommendations for ensuring the patient's total health and wellness.
Did doctors used to come to your house?In 1930, house calls were standard practice for physicians, accounting for approximately 40 percent of patient visits. By 1950, this number had fallen to 10 percent, and by 1980, only about 1 percent of patient visits happened in the home.
