When you or a loved one falls ill and you are considering calling a doctor to your home, one of the first questions is a practical one: how much does it cost? It is a fair question, and unlike many medical services, we believe you deserve a clear answer before you call, not a surprise after.
This guide sets out the full 2026 pricing for a Medecin a Domicile home visit in Mauritius: the standard fees, what is included, what can affect the final cost, how insurance and cashless visits work, and how the cost compares with the real alternatives.
Home Doctor Visit Prices in Mauritius (2026)
Medecin a Domicile applies simple, transparent, island-wide pricing. The fee is the same whether you are in Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, or anywhere else in Mauritius.

What the Visit Fee Includes
The visit fee is not just for a doctor to appear at your door. It covers a complete medical consultation delivered to you:
- Transport of the doctor to your home, hotel, or workplace, anywhere on the island, via our GPS-connected fleet of 18 vehicles
- A full consultation and clinical examination by a licensed doctor registered with the Medical Council of Mauritius
- On-the-spot diagnostics carried with the doctor: blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose
- Diagnosis and a clear treatment plan explained to you
- A prescription when needed
- A digital medical report after the visit
In other words, the fee covers everything a standard clinic consultation would, plus the doctor coming to you, with no waiting room and no travel while unwell.
What Can Affect the Final Cost
Transparency also means being clear about what is not automatically included. Depending on your condition, the doctor may recommend treatments or procedures during the visit, and these can add to the base fee:
- IV drips for dehydration, infection, or pain
- Injections and administered medications
- An ECG, wound suturing, or other procedures
- Blood samples sent to partner laboratories
The doctor always explains what is recommended and why before proceeding, so you stay in control of the decision. If you want an estimate for a specific treatment, the coordination team can advise you when you call 86121.
Some services have their own fixed pricing. For example, flu vaccination at home costs Rs 1,700 per person, with Rs 1,500 for each additional person at the same address, and that price includes the vaccine itself, the consultation, and transport anywhere in Mauritius.
Insurance: How to Pay Rs 0
Many patients in Mauritius do not pay the visit fee out of pocket at all.
Cashless visits. If you are insured with Eagle Insurance or Jubilee Insurance, eligible visits are billed directly to your insurer. You call 86121, your eligibility is checked instantly, the doctor treats you, and you pay nothing at the point of care. There is also a dedicated claims concierge to handle the paperwork.
Reimbursement with other insurers. If you are insured elsewhere, you pay the visit fee and receive an official medical invoice and report, which most health and travel insurance policies accept for reimbursement. This applies to tourists with international travel insurance as well: our invoices and medical reports are accepted by insurers worldwide.
Is a Home Doctor Worth the Cost?
Rs 3,000 for a day visit is a real amount of money, so it is worth being honest about the comparison. Here is what the alternative typically looks like.
Visiting a private clinic means transport there and back, parking, a waiting room (often one to several hours, surrounded by other sick patients), the consultation fee itself, and then the pharmacy queue. If the patient is elderly, immobile, or seriously unwell, add the cost and difficulty of arranging transport, or the physical toll of the journey itself. If it is 2 a.m., add the stress of finding what is even open.
A home visit removes all of that. For a family with a sick child at night, a bedridden elderly parent, a tourist in a hotel without a car, or anyone too unwell to travel, the fee buys something a clinic cannot offer at any price: professional care that comes to you, usually within the hour, with treatment starting on the spot.
It is also why more than 130,000 families across Mauritius have used the service since 2016, and why it holds a 4.9-star rating from more than 250 Google reviews. For many situations, the home visit is not the expensive option. Once you count transport, time, and the toll of travelling while sick, it is simply the sensible one.
Why We Publish Our Prices
Most medical services in Mauritius do not display their fees. We do, on our homepage and here, because we believe patients make better decisions with clear information, and because trust is built before the doctor ever arrives. No hidden fees, no surprises: the price you see is the price you pay, island-wide, day or night.
