When you or your child gets sick, one of the first questions families ask is:
“How much does it cost for a doctor to come to your house?”
With emergency rooms being expensive and urgent care visits getting pricier every year, many families in Phoenix are turning to home visit doctors for safe, convenient care — without the stress or surprise bills.
Here’s a clear, honest breakdown based on our real experience at YA Medical.
How Much Does a Doctor Home Visit Cost?
At YA Medical, our doctor house call visits start at $150 and up, depending on:
Time of day (daytime vs evenings/weekends)
Urgency (scheduled vs same-day urgent visit)
Distance and travel time
Complexity of the medical issue
Whether additional services are needed
There are no hidden fees, and pricing is discussed upfront before the visit.
What’s Included in a Home Visit?
A doctor home visit is much more than a quick check-in. A typical visit includes:
Full medical history and evaluation
Vital signs and physical exam
Diagnosis and treatment plan
Prescriptions when appropriate
Patient and family education
Follow-up instructions
Most visits last 20–45 minutes, giving families more time and attention than a typical clinic visit.
How Home Visit Costs Compare to Urgent Care and the ER
This is where many families are surprised.
💰 Emergency Room
$1,000–$10,000+ for minor issues
Long wait times
Exposure to other illnesses
Bills arrive weeks later
💰 Urgent Care
$200 and up on average today plus additional for testing
Long waits during peak hours
Still requires travel and sitting in a waiting room
✅ Doctor Home Visit in Phoenix
Starts at $150
No travel
No waiting room
Care in the comfort of your home
For many common medical problems, a home visit can save families thousands of dollars compared to an ER visit.
Do You Take Insurance?
Yes — we accept Traditional Medicare for house calls when criteria are met.
For patients without Medicare:
We offer transparent cash-pay pricing
We accept FSA and HSA cards
No surprise bills later
Many families prefer this model because they know the cost before the visit.
When Is a Home Visit Worth the Cost?
A doctor home visit is often worth it when:
You’re too sick to leave the house
Your child is uncomfortable or feverish
You want to avoid urgent care or ER wait times
It’s evening, a weekend, or a holiday
You value convenience and personalized care
We are also honest when a home visit is not the best option and will guide families appropriately.
When We Don’t Recommend a Home Visit
Home visits are not ideal for:
Severe chest pain
Stroke symptoms
Major trauma
Life-threatening emergencies
In those cases, we direct patients to emergency care immediately.
Why Doctor Home Visits Cost More Than Office Visits
A home visit includes things clinics don’t provide:
Travel time and fuel
Medical equipment brought to your home
Licensed medical professionals on demand
Flexible scheduling and rapid response
You’re paying for medical care plus convenience and time savings.
Is a Doctor Home Visit Worth the Money?
For the right situation — yes.
If a home visit:
Prevents an ER visit
Saves hours of waiting
Keeps your family comfortable at home
Provides thorough medical care
Then it can be one of the most cost-effective healthcare choices available.
