Patients and their families or caregivers often choose the services offered by home-based primary care providers such as Samaritan Primary Care at Home because of the ease in which the elderly and disabled can receive complete medical care. Patients who are unable to travel to a doctor’s office without transportation or assistance have a much more comfortable and convenient way of obtaining medical treatment.
No, Samaritan Primary Care at Home provides a full range of medical care to elderly patients or those with disabilities or problems with mobility. The care provided at a home visit ranges from routine check-ups and preventive care to the diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses.
Yes, Samaritan Primary Care at Home visits patients in their homes, as well as assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, retirement homes, and retirement communities.
An initial home visit consists of a comprehensive history and physical examination in conjunction with a thorough assessment of the patient’s current living conditions and caregiver needs. An individual plan of care will be established, and all medications are reviewed and adjusted as necessary. All subsequent care will be provided according to the patient’s individual medical needs. Follow-up visits will be regularly scheduled in order to routinely monitor the care and condition of the patient.
All visits are conducted by either a licensed physician or nurse practitioner, ensuring you have access to quality, comprehensive care in the comfort of your own home. Our goal is to provide attentive, patient centered care tailored to your unique needs.
Yes, telehealth is available. Telehealth is a secure and private HIPPA compliant way to consult with your healthcare provider virtually! It offers convenience, flexibility, and access to medical care from the comfort of your home. Telehealth is suited for a wide range of non-emergency medical issues, including routine follow ups, medication management, minor illnesses, and chronic disease management. To schedule a telehealth appointment, call our offices at (856) 596-1600. Our office staff is available by phone Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. & 5 p.m.
Samaritan Primary Care at Home accepts Medicare assignment and is credentialed with most major insurance companies. Medicare will pay 80% of the cost of a home visit after the patient has met the annual Medicare deductible, with the remaining 20% being covered by secondary insurance. Patients will be responsible for the Medicare annual deductible and the remaining 20% if they do not have a supplemental/ secondary insurance policy that covers these costs. For more information, please visit the Medicare website.
Yes, we do participate with most HMO insurance plans. However, our doctors cannot be selected as a patient’s “PCP.” If a patient’s HMO plan requires referrals, they will have to choose a “PCP” other than our doctors and the home visits will require a referral from that “PCP.”
Home visits are provided Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Our physicians are available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
To schedule an appointment, please call (856) 596-1600.
