A house call from a TrufaMED physician in Miami costs $1,200 for a same-day visit, $1,600 for rapid response and $2,500 after 11 PM, with scheduled visits quoted on request. Those are flat visit fees, quoted before a physician is dispatched. Concierge members pay nothing per visit for the house calls included in their tier. What follows is what sits inside each fee, what gets billed on top of it, and how the arithmetic changes if you expect to need a physician at your door more than once a year.
Price is usually the first question and rarely the real one. The question underneath it is whether a physician coming to you is worth several times the cost of walking into a clinic. Sometimes the answer is clearly yes. Often it is no, and which one applies depends on who is sick, what time it is, and whether the case needs equipment that only exists inside a building.
House call doctor prices in Miami for 2026
TrufaMED prices house calls by how quickly a physician needs to be standing in your living room. The tier is set when you call, and the fee is confirmed before anyone is dispatched.
| Visit type | When it applies | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Same-day | Requested and completed the same day during standard hours | $1,200 |
| Rapid response | Prioritized dispatch ahead of the standard queue | $1,600 |
| After-hours | After 11 PM, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week | $2,500 |
| Scheduled | Booked in advance for a date and time you choose | Quoted on request |
| Concierge member visit | Within the house call allowance of your membership tier | Included |
The number that surprises people is the after-hours tier at $2,500. It reflects what it takes to have a physician available and moving at three in the morning instead of asleep. If your situation can reasonably wait until the clinic opens, waiting saves you $1,300 against the same-day fee, and any of our staff will tell you so on the phone.
What the visit fee includes and what is billed separately
The flat fee covers the physician and the visit. Anything ordered during the visit that consumes materials or laboratory work is billed on top of it, and you are told the cost before it happens.
| Included in the visit fee | Billed separately |
|---|---|
| Physician assessment and examination at your home, hotel or office | Add-on diagnostics ordered during the visit |
| Portable diagnostic equipment brought to the visit | Laboratory testing |
| Prescriptions written and sent to your pharmacy | Ultrasound |
| Same-day follow-up at the Surfside clinic if the physician wants a second look | IV therapy administered during the visit |
That last row on the left side matters more than it looks. When a physician finishes the assessment and concludes you should be seen in the clinic, that follow-up happens the same day at 9445 Harding Ave instead of sending you to start over somewhere else.
How fast a physician actually arrives
Daytime visits inside the standard service area are typically dispatched within two to four hours of the call. That window covers the physician finishing what is in front of them, loading equipment and driving to you. Rapid response at $1,600 buys a place ahead of the queue, and is the tier to ask for when the wait itself is the problem.
Service area matters as much as the clock. Surfside, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands and Miami Beach sit close to the clinic. Addresses further out are still workable, and the front desk confirms timing for your specific address when you call, and will not quote a window it cannot hold.
Who comes to the door
House calls are physician-led. TrufaMED’s medical group includes Dr. Uri Gedalia, MD, FACS, Chief Medical Officer; Dr. Shane D. Naidoo, MD, Medical Director and board-certified in emergency medicine; Dr. Yuri Rodriguez Hernandez, MD and Dr. Gabriela Morales, MD in internal medicine; and Dr. Carlos Ramirez, MD in family medicine.
The clinic behind the house call is the only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care in Florida. Accreditation is a survey of how an organization handles medication, infection control, documentation and emergencies, which is worth caring about when you are inviting a physician into your home at an hour when you can verify little yourself.
Membership against paying per visit
Concierge membership includes house calls, and it is worth being direct about the arithmetic. Membership buys an ongoing relationship with a physician, and the included visits are one part of that relationship. Anyone treating it as a bulk discount on house calls will be disappointed.
| Tier | Monthly | Annual | House calls included |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP | $625 | $7,500 | One per year |
| Family+ | $2,000 | $24,000 | Two per year, covering two adults and two children |
| Signature | $5,000 | $60,000 | Unlimited |
Run the numbers honestly. VIP at $7,500 a year includes one house call that would otherwise cost $1,200 same-day. Nobody joins for that alone, and nobody should. The value of a membership sits in the physician relationship, the access and the coordination, with the included house call as a benefit rather than the reason.
Signature is where house calls change the math outright. At $60,000 a year with unlimited visits, a household that genuinely uses a physician at home several times a year is buying availability, not a series of transactions. That is a small group of people, and most readers of this page are better served paying $1,200 on the rare occasions when they actually need it. Our concierge medicine membership page lays out what each tier covers beyond house calls.
When a house call earns the fee
The visits where the price makes obvious sense share a pattern: moving the patient is the hard part.
- A feverish child at 2 AM. Waking a sick toddler, dressing them and driving to a waiting room is its own medical event. A physician arriving at the room is the calmer path.
- An older parent who cannot easily be moved. Mobility limits, dementia, recent surgery or simple frailty turn a routine clinic visit into an ordeal for everyone involved.
- A hotel guest whose trip is on the line. Getting assessed and treated in the room preserves what is left of the vacation, and testing can be done there as well.
- Somebody contagious. Staying home keeps a respiratory illness out of a waiting room, which is a courtesy to other patients and simpler for you.
- A schedule that genuinely cannot break. For some people the hours saved are worth more than the fee, and there is no need to pretend otherwise.
The visits where the fee is harder to justify are the ones a clinic handles better. Anything likely to need imaging, procedures or equipment that lives in a building is faster and cheaper to handle at 9445 Harding Ave. A physician who arrives and reaches that conclusion will say so and arrange the same-day follow-up, though you will have paid the visit fee to learn it.
Cheaper ways to be seen the same day
Three alternatives cost less, and each covers different ground.
Telehealth is $125 flat for Florida residents and works for the questions that can be answered by talking and looking. Prescriptions, guidance and triage all happen on a call. Book a telehealth visit when you mainly need a physician’s judgment rather than their hands.
Walking into urgent care costs a fraction of a house call and gives you the full clinic behind you. TrufaMED is open Monday to Friday 9 AM to 9 PM, Saturday 11 AM to 11 PM and Sunday 12 PM to 8 PM, seven days a week. You can register for urgent care before you arrive to shorten the front desk step, or simply walk in.
Mobile IV therapy is a separate service from a house call and priced very differently. Mobile IV runs a flat $50 above the in-clinic price of the same drip, with no visit fee and no dispatch fee layered on top. Two exceptions apply: Iron Renew 100mg is $100 above its clinic price and NAD+ is $250 above. If what you need is hydration or a specific infusion and not a diagnosis, book mobile IV therapy instead and save the house call fee entirely.
When to skip all of this and call 911
A house call is not emergency care, and no price tier changes that. Call 911 for chest pain or pressure, sudden weakness on one side of the body, facial drooping, difficulty speaking, severe difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, a serious fall or head injury, or any loss of consciousness. Paramedics arrive with capabilities no physician can carry in a bag, and the emergency department is the correct destination.
If you are unsure which category you are in, call (305) 537-6396 and describe what is happening. Sorting that out over the phone costs nothing and takes a minute.
How to arrange a house call
House calls are arranged by phone instead of an online booking form, because the tier, the timing and the service area all get confirmed in the same conversation. Call (305) 537-6396 or message WhatsApp +1 (305) 842-9801, describe the situation and the address, and you will be quoted the applicable fee before a physician is dispatched. Full details of the service are on our house call doctor in Miami page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house call doctor cost in Miami?
At TrufaMED a same-day house call is $1,200, rapid response is $1,600 and an after-hours visit placed after 11 PM is $2,500. Scheduled visits booked in advance are quoted on request. These are flat visit fees confirmed before a physician is dispatched, and they cover the physician assessment itself, separate from laboratory work or infusions ordered during the visit.
What counts as an after-hours house call?
After-hours pricing at $2,500 applies to visits after 11 PM. House calls are available around the clock, so there is no hour at which the service stops. The higher fee reflects overnight physician availability. If your situation can safely wait for daytime hours, the same-day tier at $1,200 applies and you save the difference.
How quickly can a physician get to me?
Daytime visits inside the standard service area are typically dispatched within two to four hours of your call. Rapid response at $1,600 moves you ahead of the standard queue when the wait itself is the problem. Timing for addresses outside the immediate Surfside and Miami Beach area is confirmed on the phone for your specific location before you commit.
What is included in the visit fee?
The fee covers the physician assessment at your location, portable diagnostic equipment brought to the visit, prescriptions written and sent to your pharmacy, and same-day follow-up at the Surfside clinic if the physician wants a second look. The visit is physician-led from arrival through the plan you are left with.
What gets billed on top of the visit fee?
Add-on diagnostics, laboratory testing, ultrasound and any IV therapy given during the visit are billed separately from the flat fee. You are told the cost of each before it happens, never as a surprise afterward. Many visits end with nothing added at all, and the flat fee is the entire cost.
Do concierge members pay for house calls?
Members pay no per-visit cost for the house calls included in their tier. VIP includes one house call a year, Family+ includes two, and Signature includes unlimited visits. Beyond the included allowance, the standard tier pricing applies. Membership is billed monthly or annually and covers considerably more than house calls alone.
Is a membership cheaper than paying per visit?
For house calls alone, usually no. VIP costs $7,500 a year and includes one visit that would otherwise be $1,200, so joining purely to save on house calls does not work as arithmetic. Membership makes sense for the physician relationship, direct access and care coordination, with included house calls as one benefit among several.
Is urgent care cheaper than a house call?
Walking into the clinic costs a fraction of any house call tier and gives you the full range of in-clinic equipment. A house call buys time, privacy and the ability to stay put. When moving the patient is not difficult and the clinic is open, walking in is the more sensible spend for most situations.
Can a physician come to my hotel room?
Yes. Hotel rooms, private residences, offices and short-term rentals are all standard locations for a house call, and testing can be performed on site. Give the property name, room number and any front desk instructions when you call so the physician is not delayed in a lobby. Pricing is identical to any other address in the service area.
Can I get IV therapy at home without a house call?
Yes, and it costs far less. Mobile IV therapy is priced at a flat $50 above the in-clinic price of the same drip, with no visit or dispatch fee added, except Iron Renew 100mg at $100 above and NAD+ at $250 above. Choose mobile IV when you want hydration or a specific infusion rather than a physician assessment.
Do you take insurance for house calls?
House call pricing is quoted as a flat visit fee at the tiers listed on this page, confirmed before dispatch. Coverage questions vary by plan and by what is ordered during the visit, so call (305) 537-6396 and the front desk will explain exactly what applies to your situation before anything is scheduled.
How do I book a house call in Miami?
Call (305) 537-6396 or message WhatsApp +1 (305) 842-9801. House calls are arranged by phone so the tier, timing and service area can be confirmed together. Describe what is happening and give the address, and you will be quoted the applicable fee before a physician is sent. Visits are available 24 hours a day.
