In-Home medical office visits by nurse practitioners and physicians for homebound patients
In-Home medical office visits by nurse practitioners and physicians for homebound patients
Currently, we cover a 30 mile radius from Wichita including Derby, Haysville, Clearwater, Andale, Mt. Hope, Valley Center, Sedgwick, Newton, and Andover.
Most major health insurance providers will reimburse house call fees in a similar fashion as office visits, but every plan is different. You should check with your insurance company for specifics about your coverage. For example, Medicare pays 80% of each visit according to Medicare allowable charges.
Fees depend on the complexity and number of diagnosis and number of prescriptions.
Basic Cash Pay Visit = $100
Additional services, tests, labs, or procedures will incur additional fees including (but not limited to):
Additional time and complexity to treat multiple chronic conditions with multiple medications can increase the cost of a cash visit up to $225. For example, a person with 3+ chronic conditions with 5+ medications can expect to pay $225 for a cash visit.
The majority of our patients find that their out-of-pocket expenses are close to the amount they would otherwise spend on an ER co-pay. For those with insurance, only your co-pay is required. If we do not accept your insurance plan, you have the option to pay with cash and then submit our charges to your insurance company to request reimbursement.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or checks at the time of service for any co-pays or for those individuals without insurance. For safety purposes our providers cannot accept cash. We never carry cash or narcotics.
Many major health insurance providers will reimburse house call fees, but every plan is different. You should check with your insurance company for specifics about your coverage. We are Medicare and Medicaid certified. We also take most major private insurance plans.
Currently, we do not provide 24/7 care. We operate much like a doctor's office in your own home - Our regular hours are Monday through Friday 8-5, but you can always call (316) 312-0002 and leave a message for one of our providers to call you back. Your call will be returned the next business day.
**If experience an urgent or emergency situation, it is important that you contact 911 immediately.
We are not an emergency room replacement, and we do not treat patients experiencing chest pains, shortness of breath, or head trauma, as these may require immediate hospitalization.
No. Advanced Mobile Healthcare is not a “concierge” type practice. We specialize specifically in caring for those people who have difficulty getting to a medical clinic. Go to Who is Eligible to read more.
Advanced Mobile Healthcare patients receive medical attention in the comfort of their home. Our providers spend an average of 45-60 minutes with each patient, during which time we can diagnose and treat most medical conditions.
Of course you can. You can choose for Advanced Mobile Healthcare to be your Primary Care Provider (PCP), or we can work with the provider you already know. To work with your current PCP we need your written permission to be able to communicate with their office back and forth regarding any treatment you’ve received from them or us in order to ensure appropriate continuity of care.
No. All of the providers at Advanced Mobile Healthcare are PCPs, so even with a referral your insurance will not cover our service like they would for a specialist or therapy. We would be more than happy to provide care to you in your home, but you would have to change your PCP to Larry Bumguardner, D.O. or pay for the services at the time they are rendered.
Nurse Practitioners are different from the nurse who comes to your home. Nurse Practitioners are Primary Care Providers who diagnose and prescribe treatment. Our services compliment home health services. If someone is receiving home health, he or she is considered homebound. It only makes sense that primary care should be performed in the home as well. We coordinate your care with the home health agencies, just like the doctor’s office would.
To make an appointment, call 316-312-0002, or click on Contact Us for an appointment or more information. We accept most major insurance plans although coverage is not required. For those without insurance or who prefer to pay with cash, our basic visit begins at $100 and depends on your medical requirements thereafter. Access to high quality in-home medical care has never been more convenient and affordable!
Absolutely! If you have a credit card associated with your FSA, we can accept that at the time of service. If you must pay for the visit and then submit your receipt for reimbursement, we can provide that as well. We simply process your regular credit card at the time of service, and you can choose to have the receipt emailed to you instantly or mailed through the postal service.
We operate much like a doctor's office in your own home - Our regular hours are Monday through Friday 8-5, but occasionally we can make other arrangements depending on the circumstances and our schedule. Just call 316-312-0002 to find out more.
We can coordinate your care and provide the appropriate referrals to meet your individual needs. You can find links to some other community services on our Resources page.
A doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) is a physician licensed to practice medicine, perform surgery, and prescribe medication. They complete 4 years of medical school and can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopathic physicians receive an additional 300 - 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses who are prepared, through advanced education and clinical training, to provide a wide range of preventive and acute health care services to individuals of all ages. NPs complete graduate-level education preparation that leads to a master’s degree. NPs take health histories and provide complete physical examinations; diagnose and treat many common acute and chronic problems; interpret laboratory results and X-rays; prescribe and manage medications and other therapies; provide health teaching and supportive counseling with an emphasis on prevention of illness and health maintenance; and refer patients to other health professionals as needed.

DNP stands for Doctor of Nursing Practice. The DNP is a terminal degree with a clinical focus rather than a research focus as with the traditional PhD programs. DNP programs prepare interdisciplinary health care leaders with critical skills needed to translate evidence-based care into practice, to improve systems of care, and to measure outcomes of groups of patients, populations, and communities. DNPs are able to use their scientific knowledge to improve safety, effectiveness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity in patient-centered care.
WE DO NOT treat emergency medical situations. Call 911 or go directly to the nearest Emergency Room, if you are having a very serious or life threatening condition. If you have anaphylaxis, chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, head injury, or other potentially life threatening conditions CALL 911 right away. NOTE: Our providers NEVER carry cash or narcotics.
