Sage Primary Care
Sage Primary Care functions as a mobile medical office. The same services you would have received at a traditional doctor’s office are now available in the comfort of your own home, group home, or community.
What is Primary Care?
Specialized medical care for people living at home with limited mobility.
Chronic illness can cause severe pain and discomfort while doing even the simplest of daily tasks. Because of this discomfort, many patients coping with chronic illness avoid these tasks including frequent visits to primary care physicians. However, seeing one’s physician is vitally important—even more so for those diagnosed with chronic illness. This is why we bring the physicians to you!
Sage Primary Care brings qualified, professional primary care physicians directly into the homes of patients facing chronic illness relieving them of the discomfort that may come with traveling to the doctor’s office. Primary Care is available to all patients within current service locations who are diagnosed with a chronic illness.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Primary Care
Answers to common questions can be found here.
A primary care team may include specialist nurses and doctors, social workers, religious or spiritual leaders, therapists, nutritionists, and other professionals. Your primary care team may vary depending on your needs and level of care.
Most patients see their physicians in a traditional clinic setting where the patient comes to the doctor. However, since we all feel most comfortable at home, why not have our primary care physicians come into your home? That is exactly what you get when you receive primary care from Sage Primary and Palliative—qualified, professional primary care provided directly within the walls of your own home.
Far too often people let pain or anxiety stop them from seeking care from their primary care provider. This problem can be even worse for those facing severe, chronic illness. And it is for this purpose we bring the primary care directly to patient’s home. If you or your loved one have difficulty going to see your doctor because of pain caused by severe illness, we want to provide primary care for them within the walls of their home.
Primary care can be provided in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, outpatient palliative care clinics, and other specialized clinics or in the comfort of your own home.
Finding care in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, or hospitals may be more complicated during COVID-19. However, these facilities may continue to update their services and policies to comply with state departments of health and CDC guidelines to protect the health and safety of people receiving care and staff. Sage Palliative Care can help you navigate these uncertain times. Learn more from CDC.
Most private insurance plans cover some or all primary care services. Medicare and Medicaid also typically cover most of these services. Many insurance providers do require a small co pay for primary care services. Veterans may also be eligible for primary care through the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you have concerns about paying for primary care, one of Sage’s social workers or care managers will be glad to help you by calling (480)
607-0606.
Why travel to the doctor’s office when you can have quality primary care delivered right at home? Mobile primary care by Sage provides many of the services traditionally offered at a doctor’s office right within the comfort of the patient’s home. This means patients can receive primary care services such as mobile X-rays, Ultrasounds, lab work and many more services in the place they feel most comfortable.
Studies have shown that in-home primary care can have many benefits for both patients and their families. These studies show that those enrolled in in-home primary care have fewer symptoms, greater emotional support, and increased patient and family satisfaction.
Yes, they can. Our Primary Care physicians act as the eyes and ears for your primary physician and specialists. While working with the patient in the home, our primary care providers can relay information back to your providers and keep them involved in the delivery and planning of your care.
The cost to receive Primary Care services are similar to the costs the patient would face when visiting their doctor. Depending on the patient’s insurance, Primary Care visits commonly require a small co-pay charge. You will have full knowledge of all the financial implications of the Primary Care prior to admission.
Primary Care services are considered “patient directed care” first and foremost. If a patient admitted to Primary Care decides they no longer want to receive the services, all they need to do is communicate their wish to their primary care provider and services will be concluded soon thereafter. Similarly, if the patient wants to restart Primary Care services, a phone call is all it takes.
