Stay home. Feel better.
Common questions
Yes. DispatchHealth is a different kind of healthcare. We believe that often the best place for care, recovery and healing is where you’re most comfortable — right at home. And many types of care can be delivered at home just as effectively as in a traditional urgent care clinic, emergency room or hospital.
A visit with DispatchHealth is typically the same cost as an in-network urgent care visit, and just a fraction of a trip to the ER. Our cost page gives estimated out-of-pocket charges for many common insurance networks. Keep in mind that your specific bill may depend on whether you’ve met your deductible.
We employ the same experienced professionals you would see in an urgent care, emergency room or hospital. Depending on your individual needs, your DispatchHealth team may include an emergency medicine or internal medicine physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, nurse, medical technician, and/or imaging technician. They bring all the tools and technology needed to treat most non-life-threatening emergencies.
If you don’t have insurance, or we don’t work with your insurance provider, you can still receive care from DispatchHealth at a flat rate of $375 per visit. This cost covers everything we do, including administering medication, procedures, and on-site lab tests.
You can pay your bill by credit, debit, health savings account (HSA), health reimbursement account (HRA) or flexible spending account (FSA).
At times we may recommend additional services from other providers such as imaging, labs or prescriptions. These follow-ups are not included in your DispatchHealth visit, and will result in separate bills from other providers.
Many factors go into planning visits each day. Things like how many people need our help, where they live, how urgent their needs are, and the healthcare professionals we have available all play a part. We also partner with value-based care networks (i.e. insurers, hospitals, health systems, physician groups, etc.) to take care of their high-need patients who come first when scheduling.
Sometimes, we’re really busy and can’t fit everyone in for a visit that day. If that happens, we will let you know so you can choose to be seen by us the following day or find another place where you can get care.
