Home Health Information: Physician Home Visits

Caring for patients at home with skilled nursing and durable medical equipment is an integral part of healthcare and a significant challenge; especially since many patients’ most common contact with physicians is in the Emergency Room or hospital. Alegis Care, a division of Home Physicians, fulfills the role of a primary care physician, coordinates patient care, and can decrease visits to emergency rooms and hospitals.

Our singular focus and expertise in physician home visits means we understand the needs of the patients, caregivers, and medical professionals. We respond quickly to new referrals, often within 48 hours. We are accustomed to processing home health 485’s, orders for care, and durable medical equipment needs. We have excellent relationships to perform diagnostic tests and delivery of prescriptions right in your home.

The implementation of electronic medical records creates typed visit documentation, up-to-date prescription drug records, and more specificity on ICD9 codes. All visit documentation, physician orders, and prescription changes are sent to appropriate medical professionals.

Regular physician home visits, medication management, and care coordination improves the health of homebound patient, providing relief and support to caregiver/family, and better outcomes for home health agencies. Contact us today for more information!
