I like the idea of house calls making a come back. The last thing we need is to take contagious people and tell them they have to go out in public to get a doctors note, or they have to come in to work. We need to find ways to keep sick people at home and a service like this helps.

Interesting idea. Doesn't "urgent care" imply that a home visit wouldn't be suitable? If I was in urgent need then a hospital visit with access to all the equipment an emergency room has would be the best option right? Seems like this kind of wording would open you up to some kind of liability issues.

Are house visits by doctors a normal thing in France? I recall being told about it years back and it made me very envious.

1) Initial thought - cool, but then<p>2) I&#x27;d still want to use insurance, particularly as there is variability in the cost.<p>3) Some things listed require prescriptions to be filled. In those cases, I assume I&#x27;m still going to have to get dressed and drive to the pharmacy, at which point, what it is the benefit?<p>4) Some insurance carriers provide services similar to this. A few years back, I had a physical injury which left my physically limited for several months. My insurance actually covered the cost of a physical therapist coming to my house to make sure I knew how to get around in my limited state, to make minor alterations around the house, and to begin physical therapy. In talking to the insurance company and the therapist, there were a ton of different in-home services that they provided - unfortunately I was way too doped up to remember what the other services were they provided.

I&#x27;m in urgent care right now getting bad road rash cleaned up and wish I was at home instead! Pricing is definitely higher. I&#x27;ll walk out paying about $200 on a high deductible plan. So I probably wouldn&#x27;t use this for that reason but I love the idea.

I like this. One question: what cities are you currently live in?<p>On the developer side of things, why aren&#x27;t you asking, say, &quot;Where do you need urgent care?&quot; -- here&#x27;s a map, input your address, so we can gauge interest for the next city.
