MD at Home

MD at Home accepts Medicare Assignment. Medicare covers 80 percent of the approved amount for each visit. The remaining 20 percent falls to the patient, secondary insurance, or Medicaid. The practice accepts a wide range of insurance plans in both the Chicagoland and South Florida markets, including Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and several major commercial carriers.

The practice serves homebound individuals who face mobility limitations, cognitive impairment, need for special transportation, or a medical contraindication for leaving home. Physicians travel to patients Monday through Friday throughout Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and South Florida.

Each visit runs a full 60 minutes. Physicians spend that time conducting thorough assessments, reviewing medications, updating care plans, and engaging with family members when present.

For diabetes, the team manages blood glucose, foot care, nutrition, and therapeutic shoes. For CHF, physicians monitor fluid management and ejection fraction while reducing polypharmacy. COPD care includes pulmonary function evaluation and oxygen eligibility assessment.

This rapid follow-up reduces the risk of readmission during the critical period after a patient returns home.
