If you are sick in New York City but cannot get to a clinic, a licensed medical clinician can come to you. Here is how urgent care house calls work, what is included, and how to book.
Quick answer
SickDay brings urgent care style evaluation to your home, office, or hotel across all five boroughs — at your location in 90 minutes or less during operating hours.
What a house call can cover
Common concerns evaluated at home include flu-like illness, GI symptoms, respiratory issues, ENT problems (sore throat, sinus, ear), skin conditions, and minor injuries. Licensed medical clinicians can also perform rapid testing and blood work during a visit when clinically appropriate.
What’s included in a SickDay visit
Each visit includes a clinical evaluation, review of symptoms and medical history, focused physical exam, testing when appropriate, and a treatment plan. If injections or additional treatments are clinically needed, those may be included. After the visit, you receive a receipt for potential PPO insurance reimbursement.
Pricing and reimbursement
SickDay charges a flat fee per visit. PPO insurance holders may be able to submit receipts for reimbursement. Confirm current fees and reimbursement options when booking, as pricing can vary by service type.
How booking works
- Call (212) 742-5329 or fill out the online request form
- Receive a callback within 5–10 minutes to confirm your appointment
- A licensed medical clinician arrives at your location
- After the visit, a receipt is emailed for your records
When a house call is the right choice vs. telemedicine
A house call is the better choice when symptoms are significant enough to need a physical exam, when testing is likely needed, or when you have mobility limitations. Telemedicine visits in New York state work well for mild-to-moderate issues where a physical exam is not required.
Safety and scope: when to seek emergency care
Call 911 or go to the nearest ER for trouble breathing, chest pain, altered mental status, severe dehydration, or any symptom that feels like a life-threatening emergency. SickDay medical house calls in NYC are designed for urgent but non-emergency situations.
