Lisa Swansen joins us to share how Mobile One Docs, a home-based primary care healthcare group that sends nurse practitioners and physicians to patients in their home settings, can bridge the gap between traditional and mobile healthcare by sending them out to patients in their home settings, reducing barriers and increasing accessibility.  

Lisa shares how they work with various plans, including traditional Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans, and have a fee structure similar to a physician's office. Previously, most patients were homebound, but this has been lifted. This allows Mobile One Docs to reach different populations and reduce barriers.
