LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The recent health reform law has proven beneficial for many people. However, recent events have proven that the system is still far from perfect – and when bureaucratic issues mean you and your family can't access the medical care you need, this is always a serious concern. That's why innovative medical practices like House Call Doctor Los Angeles are increasingly trusted by those with specific medical needs. Led by Dr. Michael Farzam, their medical team provides concierge medicine to Los Angeles patients in the comfort of their own homes, hotel rooms, offices, or nearly anywhere else.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Covered California has failed to send insurance applications to some 20,000 residents covered by the program – leading to delays and confusion. Further still, approximately 10,000 people have had their Medi-Cal insurance canceled prematurely based on a check of their income. "There have been some cases of individuals where the wires got crossed and people were removed from Covered California before Medi-Cal was live," says Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California. Lee stresses that "it's been a limited number of cases," but he acknowledges that "it's still a concern."

Meanwhile, the staff at Covered California has labored to get in touch with nearly 100,000 households that risked losing coverage due to a lack of documented proof of citizenship or legal residency – an issue that is particularly frequent in Southern California. Fortunately, whether or not you are covered by health insurance, you'll find first-rate, affordable care from the comfort of your own home at House Call Doctor Los Angeles.

Affordable In-Home Care When You Need it Most

For years, Dr. Farzam has sought to provide the type of friendly, expert mobile medical care that once was common, but has become increasingly rare in modern society. Since House Call Doctor Los Angeles doesn't operate out of a traditional medical facility, costs are kept low, and this leads to savings that are passed down to every patient. That's why many patients of the acclaimed house, office, and hotel doctor in Los Angeles have come to include those who cannot afford a medical health insurance plan, and individuals who are currently insured, but don't have access to a physician on their health plan.

In many cases, patients continue to undergo treatment from Dr. Farzam after they are re-enrolled or able to access their medical coverage. In fact, many health insurers reimburse 30 to 80% of out-of-network charges, and Dr. Farzam and his team expedite and simplify the process as much as possible by providing forms and receipts for reimbursement purposes. If you're one of the thousands whose medical coverage has been interrupted, or you simply want to experience the comfort of effective home care, contact House Call Doctor Los Angeles today by calling 310-849-7991 or visit www.housecalldoctorla.com.
