A: Hello.May I help you?

B:Is this the number for making ar-
rangements for doctor house calls?

A: Yes,it is. Doctors make house
calls 24 hours a day,seven days a
week in all five boroughts of New

B:When can I request a house call?


A:Whenever your family doctor does
not have office hours,for instance,
at night,or you are too sick to le-
ave your home. In emergency cases,
call 911.

B: How does your service work?

A: That's quite simple. Specially
trained operators take  your full
name, address, phone number and a
brief explanation of your problem.
They then schedule you with a doc-
tor already on house calls nearby.

arrive?

A:In most cases, expect the doctor
within two hours.

are available in my home?

A:Our doctors perform examinati-
ons, prescribe medicine, give in-
jections and recommend other re-
quired services.

tests, electrocardiagrams  and
X-rays available in my home?

A:Absolutely.If required,the doc-
tor can perform these services.


B:When am I supposed to pay the
doctor?

A:At the end of the doctor's vi-
sit.

B: Will the visiting doctor fill
out any insurance forms required?


A: Of course,he will. Many insu-
rance plans  pay  for  doctor's
calls.Often we are permitted to
bill insurance companies direct-
ly.

B:Is Medicare accepted by Doctors
on Call?

A:You pay the doctor.He fills out
the Medicare form.

B: Can you tell me more about the
doctor's charge?

ment, ask our operator about our
charges.They are quite reasonable,
comparable to an office visit.
