Announced today, Heal, one of the online market leaders in doctor house calls, launched its move into New York City and its acquisition of Doctors on Call (DOC), one of New York’s leading and trusted medical house call services for the elderly. Heal’s is a simple solution for on-call/house call doctors visits by just creating an account through their app with your general health information.
With Heal’s entry into its largest single city, their services are NOW available to more than 75 million Americans throughout Atlanta, Georgia; California, New York, Northern Virginia and D.C.
Heal’s acquisition of Doctors on Call, which averaged 42,000 house calls to seniors in NYC in 2018, is aimed at transforming an old-school, people-intensive practice into an omni-modal care solution that lowers healthcare operating costs (opex) and provides always-on, connected care. In 2019 alone, Heal will perform more than 100K house calls, averaging an estimated $53,700,000 per year in overall healthcare cost savings.
The consistent increase in consumer demand for Heal services has up-trended its growth by more than 310% over the last 12 months. In less than four years, Heal has provided house calls across California, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. /Northern Virginia, and has reduced unnecessary Emergency Room and Urgent Care visits by up to 71%.
