Mobile health company DocGo has expanded the service area of DocGo On-Demand, a service that allows patients in New York City and New Jersey to request same-day house calls or telehealth services.
Previously available in select areas of New York and New Jersey, DocGo is now available to most residents of New York City and surrounding counties, as well as additional areas in New Jersey.
A patient can consult with a clinician via video telehealth and if in-person care is deemed necessary, a clinician can make a house call on the same day. DocGo On-Demand is available as an iPhone app, where patients can view their care history and schedule appointments, according to an Oct. 26 DocGo On-Demand news release.
Visits are covered by a patient's insurance or paid for with a flat fee.
"Since launching DocGo On-Demand in February in select areas of New Jersey and New York, we have delivered care to a large number of patients in the comfort of their own homes," DocGo President Anthony Capone said. "From everyday cold and flu care, routine testing, and physicals to more complex cases involving homebound elderly patients, our skilled medical professionals provide high-quality care to adults and children. With this expansion of our service area, we're offering millions of additional New York and New Jersey residents access to affordable healthcare that comes directly to them, not the other way around."
