The Instacare standard

Nobody enters your home unverified.

Letting a professional into your home takes trust. We earn it before the first visit with a five-step check that every nurse and physiotherapist has to pass.

How it works

From first call to front door.

Three simple steps, whether you book online, in the app or over the phone.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need

    Book on the website or the Instacare app, or simply call us. Choose the service, date and a time slot between 6 AM – 9 PM — at least 3 hours ahead.

  2. 2

    We match a verified professional

    Only professionals qualified for your service, close to your home, are offered the visit. Your booking is confirmed once one accepts.

  3. 3

    Care arrives at your door

    Your nurse or physiotherapist arrives ready to work, and every visit is documented — shared with your doctor on request.

Questions

What families ask us first.

Which areas of Chennai do you cover?

We serve Chennai city limits. A booking is accepted when a verified professional qualified for your service is available near your address — usually within a 5–10 km radius.

How quickly can someone visit?

Visits run in one-hour slots from 6 AM – 9 PM, and can be booked as little as 3 hours ahead. Your booking is confirmed as soon as a matched professional accepts it.

How do you verify your nurses and physiotherapists?

Every professional's council registration is verified, along with their qualifications, at least six months of clinical experience, a criminal record and address check, and a practical skill assessment. Credentials are re-verified every year.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancellation is free, with a full refund, before a professional is assigned. You also get one free reschedule a month, up to two hours before the visit. If we can't fulfil a booking, you're refunded in full within 24 hours.

How do I pay?

Payments are digital — UPI, cards and wallets. Cash is not accepted. You pay only for the care received, and any medical supplies used are charged at cost.

Can I claim the cost on health insurance?

We provide supporting documentation for reimbursement claims. Whether a visit is covered depends on your policy, so check with your insurer.

Is home care a substitute for a doctor or hospital?

No. Our professionals work within their licensed scope of practice and complement your doctor's care. In an emergency, call 108 or go to the nearest hospital — our partners are trained to refer serious conditions there.

Rather talk it through?

A care coordinator can help you choose the right service.
