2) Explain Your Symptoms
When you call, you will be asked to provide a few details about your illness or injury and some information, like your primary care provider’s name, as well as your address. DispatchHealth can treat many urgent illnesses, so long as they are non-life threatening.
3) Get Care At Home
The DispatchHealth medical team arrives within a few hours to provide treatment. Each team includes a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, along with a medical technician. An on-call emergency medicine physician is always available by phone for consultations.
4) They’ll Take Care of the Rest
DispatchHealth will call in any prescriptions you might need, update your doctor within 24 hours, and work directly with your insurance to process billing. DispatchHealth is in-network with most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage and typically costs the same as a traditional urgent care visit.
