# How to set up Home Visit Packages

You may need to set up Home Visits for Patients that are unable to come down to the Clinic for a consultation. Instead, consultation is done at the Patient’s place of residence.

Home Visits can be set up for elderly Patient’s or Patient’s who suffer from ailments that prevent them from physical movement. Home Visits can be restricted to a single visit or multiple visits, depending on Patient requirements. In cases where the Patient requires multiple visits, a Home Visit Package can be set up. Upon the first consultation, the Practitioner decides on the number of visits required and the number of hours each visit should last. The price of the Home Visit Package can be set up accordingly. Thereafter, the Practitioner can allocate the appropriate staff (usually a nurse from the clinic) for the remaining visits.

Let us have a look at a situation where you may need to set up a Home Visit Package.

_An elderly Patient calls your clinic and requests a Doctor’s visit. He is suffering from recurring joint pains and is unable to move. The Doctor schedules an emergency visit for the Patient. After the first consultation, the Doctor diagnoses the Patient with Osteoarthritis and suggests 9 sessions of Physiotherapy. The Patient is physically weak and diabetic, requiring regular Insulin intake._

_The Practitioner decides, the Patient temporarily requires 9 visits for Physiotherapy that are 1 hour long each. The visits are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He sets the price of the Package and allocates a nurse to continue with the visits._

Clinicea allows you create and set up a custom Home Visit Package in such situations. To set up a Home Visit Package:

**1**. Go to **Financials** | **New Home Visit** | select the **Patient** and click to open.

**2**. Scroll down to **Financials**, the price of the package is auto-generated based on the price of individual Physiotherapy sessions. _For example, Each Physiotherapy session is priced at $300, therefore 9 sessions of Physiotherapy will total to $2700 (9 x $300)._
