Who needs care
The patient’s name, age range, and who is making the request.
In-home medical visits
Medical attention in a more familiar setting.
An in-home visit may make care easier to access for some patients. AthenaCare confirms clinical appropriateness, location, eligibility, and availability before scheduling.
What it means
A medical visit designed around the patient's circumstances.
An in-home medical visit takes place at the patient's residence rather than a traditional medical office.
The exact scope of a visit depends on the patient's needs and the services AthenaCare confirms. Home visits are not a substitute for emergency care and are not guaranteed for every request.
Where care may take place
Residential settings considered individually.
For Medicare patients, AthenaCare confirms Medicare information, location, service area, clinical fit, and availability for every request.
Private residences
Assisted-living communities
Board-and-care homes
Memory-care communities
Other eligible residential settings
A good first conversation
Information that helps the team review your request.
Where care is requested
The city or ZIP code where a visit would take place.
What support is needed
A brief, non-sensitive explanation of the request and preferred timing.
Home visits are not for emergencies.
If symptoms may be serious, life-threatening, or require immediate attention, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
