Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who has a hard time getting to an office: people who are homebound, use a walker or wheelchair, no longer drive, are recovering from surgery or a hospital stay, or are living with dementia. We also see residents of assisted living and senior communities.

We make house calls in Lake, Porter, Newton, Jasper, White, Carroll, Tippecanoe, Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Morgan and Putnam counties in Indiana. If you're not sure whether we come to your town, call us and ask.

Medicare Part B covers doctor visits at home when the care is medically necessary, and you don't have to be homebound. Routine foot care such as trimming nails or calluses is usually covered only if you have a condition that makes it risky to do yourself, such as diabetes with nerve damage or poor circulation. Call us and we'll go over your coverage before the visit.
