Services
Physician Housecalls provides home-based primary care medicine to homebound geriatric or chronically ill patients. Services include comprehensive physical examinations, annual wellness visits, comprehensive geriatric assessments, medication prescription and management, basic diagnostic testing, blood work and lab testing, chronic disease evaluation and management, immunizations, diabetic screening, and wound care.

Founders
Physician Housecalls was founded in 2012. Specific founder names and backgrounds are not provided.
Acquisitions and Expansion
Physician Housecalls expanded its reach by acquiring Mobile Medical and Serene Palliative Care & Hospice. This growth made Physician Housecalls the largest house call provider in Kansas and Oklahoma. The company serves patients throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, and parts of Missouri, and due to a recent Medicare rule change, can now help more patients who are not designated as 'homebound'.
Home-Based Primary Care Benefits
Participating in Medicare's Independence at Home study, Physician Housecalls demonstrated that home-based primary care services could save an average of 35% of annual healthcare costs for homebound Medicare beneficiaries. The company also helps hospitals reduce the risk of readmission by visiting patients within a few days of hospital discharge.
Hospice Care Services
Physician Housecalls provides hospice care through Serene Palliative Care & Hospice, serving Wichita, Kansas since 2022. Hospice services include nursing, after-hours triage, aide/homemaker support, psychosocial and spiritual support, pharmacist, therapists, volunteers, medications, medical equipment and supplies, and bereavement support. These services aim to offer comprehensive end-of-life care tailored to individual patient needs.
