outcalls
Off-site service trips
Outcalls are visits made to a client's location rather than receiving them at one's own premises.
The term appears most often in service industries—massage therapists, escorts, and sex workers distinguish between incalls (clients come to them) and outcalls (they go to the client): She charges extra for outcalls.
The word also applies to sales calls and home healthcare visits.
