A Simple Screening Tool

Our online tool asks a brief series of yes-or-no questions based on these criteria. It only takes a minute to complete and provides immediate feedback on your eligibility.

If you complete the screening and find that you may qualify, we encourage you to contact our office. A team member will walk you through next steps, including verification of benefits, care coordination, and scheduling. Even if you’re unsure, our staff is available to answer your questions and provide further assessment.

At Home Based Medicine, we recognize that traditional office visits aren’t always feasible for every patient. For those facing mobility challenges, chronic illness, or conditions that make it difficult to leave home, in-home medical care offers a safe and effective alternative. But how do you know if you or your loved one may qualify?

To make this easier, we’ve created a simple online screening tool designed to help you assess whether home-based medical care might be right for you.

Understanding Home-Based Medical Eligibility

In-home medical care is often available to individuals who are considered "homebound" by Medicare and other insurance standards. This doesn’t mean you must be completely confined to your home, but it does mean that leaving home requires significant effort or assistance due to illness or physical limitations.

If any of the following apply, you may be eligible for at-home medical visits:

You are primarily confined to bed.

Why Consider At-Home Medical Care?

  • You find it physically challenging to travel to a clinic or doctor’s office.
  • You rely on a wheelchair, walker, or similar support device.
  • You’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or illness that limits mobility.
  • You experience anxiety or mental health concerns that interfere with clinic visits.
  • You require home oxygen or ventilator support.

Choosing home-based care can result in improved quality of life, reduced hospital visits, and greater continuity of care. It allows patients to receive the same level of professional attention they would in a clinic, without the stress and burden of travel. It also offers family members and caregivers the added benefit of coordinated support directly in the home.

Key benefits of home-based care include:

  • Personalized medical attention in the comfort of your own home
  • Reduced risk of exposure to contagious illnesses
  • Improved management of chronic conditions
  • Direct communication with your care team
  • Coverage by Medicare and many private insurance plans
