Essenmed Housecalls

What Essenmed Housecalls does

Essenmed Housecalls operates as a service line of Essen Health Care, a private, multi-site healthcare services organization headquartered in The Bronx, New York. The company delivers a comprehensive care platform spanning urgent care, primary care, pediatric care, specialty care (including women's health), in-home house calls, and virtual/telehealth visits. Its underlying technology stack includes electronic health records, online appointment booking portals (essendev.ecares.io and essen.ecares.io), a patient portal, care coordination software, and integrated bill payment via healow Pay.

Beyond ambulatory services, Essen operates a Nursing Home Division deploying 100+ providers across all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester, supplemented by Hospitalist physician services to extend the care continuum into clinical settings. The Health Home Program provides care coordination for Medicaid-eligible members with complex medical, behavioral, and social needs, while the GUIDE Model partnership with Intention Healthcare adds dementia-care coordination.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service healthcare delivery billed through insurance and Medicaid, with additional revenue from employer health services (pre-employment physicals, drug screening, on-the-job injury care), managed care coordination contracts, and occupational medicine. Atlas IPA, a wholly-owned subsidiary, leads payor negotiations, credentialing, IT support, and compliance for aligned providers within and outside Essen. NYREACH, a nonprofit founded in January 2015, conducts community-based health disparities research. The firm serves a primarily Medicaid-heavy, underserved Bronx population and reports 5M+ cumulative unique patient encounters across 45+ Bronx clinic locations and a 420+ provider network.
