Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, securing timely and reliable healthcare remains a fundamental need.
However, maneuvering through the traditional healthcare systems can be overwhelming and time-consuming. DocGo offers a fresh approach to healthcare with a suite of high-quality, highly accessible healthcare solutions.
Healthcare at Your Fingertips
A key pillar of DocGo's mission is accessibility. With just a few taps on your smartphone or computer, you can connect with their network of experienced healthcare providers from the comfort of your home or on the go.
DocGo On-Demand provides non-emergency medical care for patients aged 6 months and older, with services covering a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. They offer flexible care options tailored to your preferences, including in-home visits in select geographies and telehealth appointments. Gone are the days of long waiting times and crowded waiting rooms—DocGo On-Demand brings healthcare directly to your doorstep.
Trust in Expert Care
DocGo's commitment to quality and excellence is exhibited through its team of over 6,000 dedicated healthcare providers. DocGo's extensive network of clinicians enables the company to sustain its broad operations and deliver care to diverse communities. Each provider undergoes rigorous screening and training to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care.
Their mobile medical clinicians include registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and every visit is conducted by a remote Advanced Practice Provider (nurse practitioner or physician assistant) and physicians.
A Broad Range of Services
One of the things that sets DocGo apart from other virtual healthcare platforms is their broad range of treatments and services.
From On-Demand service to Mobile Health Care to Medical Transportation to Remote Patient Monitoring and Virtual Care Management, DocGo offers diverse healthcare solutions tailored to the unique needs of patients and their healthcare providers.
Mobile Health Care
DocGo's mobile health services cater to patients' needs wherever and whenever they arise. Whether at home, via telehealth platforms, or through community-based health programs, licensed clinicians deliver precise and compassionate care.
DocGo's mobile healthcare relies on advanced, technology-driven platforms to deliver efficient, secure services. Their diverse services include testing, diagnosing, and treating common health issues like colds and flu or gastrointestinal symptoms, electrocardiograms (EKGs), and more.
Medical Transportation
As a leading medical transportation company in the United States and the UK, DocGo has over 6,000 full-time medically trained field staff. It also has a fleet of more than 1,000 ambulances and support vehicles. DocGo's ambulances transport over 600,000 patients annually for major hospital and health system customers, including Jefferson Health, Northwell Health, and the NHS in the UK.
DocGo's mobile units, staffed with highly skilled professionals and furnished with state-of-the-art medical equipment, offer a spectrum of healthcare services. From routine checkups to diagnostic tests to urgent care, they adhere to strict protocols, ensuring the highest standards of care and prioritizing a quality experience for every patient.
Remote Patient Monitoring and Virtual Care Management
Chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), or congestive heart failure (CHF) can be challenging, but DocGo's Virtual Care Management (VCM) offers a supportive solution.
Through Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and personalized care plans, DocGo assists patients and their healthcare providers in more effective management of a patient's health. Their expert monitoring team collaborates with patients to set and achieve health goals, from maintaining a healthy weight to managing chronic conditions.
DocGo utilizes wearable sensors, mobile medical devices, and additional technology to gather patient health data. These devices are used to monitor patients' critical health metrics such as blood pressure, glucose levels, and heart rate.
According to their website, patients can spend less than 5 minutes daily taking readings, which are reviewed remotely by DocGo staff. Patients need only use a blood pressure cuff, step on a scale, or connect their smart devices and DocGo monitors to address any concerns and share information directly with the patient and their primary care physician or specialist. The information collected through VCM and RPM devices is encrypted and securely transmitted as part of each patient's confidential medical records.
Serving the Community
DocGo helps bridge the gap in access to vital medical services, serving remote areas with limited transportation options and urban neighborhoods grappling with socioeconomic challenges. By actively involving patients in their health between visits, DocGo strengthens the bond between patients and their primary care physicians. Acknowledging the diverse healthcare needs of their communities, DocGo customizes its services, offering health awareness initiatives, preventive screenings, and partnerships with local organizations to foster overall well-being.
Understanding DocGo Costs
The costs for a DocGo On-Demand visit are typically determined by the patient's insurance plan and are similar to the costs for a traditional visit to the doctor's office. For those without insurance or using out-of-network services, self-pay rates for DocGo On-Demand start at $69 per visit. Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans from several insurers are accepted, including AARP, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Private insurance plans are also accepted.
Transforming Healthcare for All
DocGo's innovative approach to healthcare not only revolutionizes individual patient experiences but also holds the potential to reshape the broader healthcare landscape in the United States fundamentally.
Through the integration of advanced technology, a steadfast commitment to high-quality care, and a focus on increasing accessibility, DocGo is dismantling traditional barriers to care and extending its reach to underserved communities. DocGo's efforts are driving towards a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system, where healthcare is truly for all, regardless of socioeconomic status, geographic location, or health condition.
This transformative vision is within reach. Thanks to the dedication and innovation of DocGo and its team of healthcare professionals, no one will be left behind.
