When you’re sick, the last thing you want to worry about is hidden fees or confusing medical bills. In a city like New York, where the cost of everything is a consideration, it’s natural to ask: “What does a medical house call actually cost?”
At Sickday.com, we believe in transparency. Understanding the cost of at-home medical care isn’t just about a number; it’s about understanding the comprehensive value you receive. This guide breaks down what goes into the cost of our service, so you can make an informed decision about your health.
What’s Included in a Single Visit Fee?
Unlike a traditional clinic visit, which can involve co-pays, separate lab fees, and facility charges, our model is designed for simplicity. When you book a visit, your fee typically covers:
- The Practitioner’s Travel: We handle all the logistics and costs of getting a certified medical practitioner to your home or office, anywhere in our NYC service area.
- A Comprehensive Medical Examination: Our practitioners take the time to listen to your concerns, conduct a thorough exam, and answer all your questions without rushing.
- On-the-Spot Diagnostics: This includes immediate tests for common conditions like flu, strep throat, and COVID-19, providing you with answers right away.
- A Personalized Treatment Plan: You’ll receive a clear plan for recovery, including recommendations for care and medication.
- Prescription Management: If a prescription is necessary, we send it directly to your preferred pharmacy, saving you an extra trip.
The Hidden Value: What You Save by Staying Home
The true value of an at-home medical visit often lies in the costs you avoid. Consider the expenses and sacrifices of a traditional trip to a doctor or urgent care in NYC:
- Lost Time: A trip to a clinic can easily take 3-4 hours out of your day between travel, waiting, and the appointment itself.
- Productivity Loss: For professionals, that lost time translates directly to lost income or falling behind on important work.
- Travel Costs: Whether it’s the price of a round-trip subway ride, a taxi, or surge pricing on a rideshare app, getting around the city costs money.
- The “Waiting Room Tax”: You risk exposing yourself to other illnesses, potentially turning one sick day into several.
When you factor in these hidden costs, the value of a single, efficient, at-home visit becomes clear. You are investing in a faster, more comfortable, and more efficient path to recovery.
