What is DispatchHealth?
DispatchHealth is bringing back the house call with a modern technology twist by providing patients ways to access convenient, high-quality acute care in the comfort of their home, office or location of need. Serving the nation’s second-fastest growing market, DispatchHealth is redefining the Denver healthcare landscape as an extension of a patient’s care team and offering services from flu shots to minor fractures to suturing to advanced blood laboratory testing.
- Easily Accessible: Consumers can make immediate care requests on their own time using a variety of convenient technology solutions: our smartphone app, website or by dialing 303-500-1518.
- Fast Service: Downtown Denver based, the medical providers are centrally located to better serve the metro area in a timely manner, far better when compared to waiting 4 hours on average for an ER visit
- Care at the Consumer’s Place of Need: Make care requests for the medical team to come to your home, office, soccer field or special event
- Extended hours: The team provides care from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 365 days a year, including holidays — so, acute holiday medical concerns can be addressed in the home as opposed to the ER
Who are the DispatchHealth providers?
DispatchHealth’s providers are board certified physicians and nurse practitioners with significant experience evaluating acute injuries and illnesses. In fact, our providers are the same providers that you may see in your local emergency room. DispatchHealth arrives on scene with a nurse practitioner and EMT, with a board certified ER physician available virtually. Using the DispatchHealth mobile app to request care even allows for you to see which providers will be arriving to treat you, allowing for additional sense of security and comfort.
Is DispatchHealth meant to replace my doctor?
No. DispatchHealth is a complement to your current medical team for those times when healthcare gets in the way of your busy lifestyle. Our goal is to help integrate our care with that of your current caregivers. DispatchHealth can act as the “eyes and ears” on the ground for your physician when they are unable to see you, and when you require immediate care.
What insurances does DispatchHealth accept?
DispatchHealth is contracted (in-network) with all major payers including Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana, Anthem / Blue Cross Blue Shield and the ColoradoHealthOP in Colorado. DispatchHealth will bill your insurance directly for the services rendered. Uninsured patients will receive a flat $195 rate per episode for all services.

The cost of care is determined by the complexity of care provided, procedures performed and supplies required.
What conditions can DispatchHealth treat?
DispatchHealth can treat just about anything that can be seen in an urgent care center and a few more things.
