Get answers to frequently asked questions about HouseCalls

A HouseCalls visit is a no-cost yearly health check-in for members enrolled in an eligible UnitedHealthcare health plan.

No. A HouseCalls visit is available to eligible UnitedHealthcare plan members and is not intended to imply the recipient has a specific condition or disease. The visit does not take the place of your regular visits to your primary care provider (PCP). Participation in this program does not affect your health care premium or coverage.

During a HouseCalls visit, you’ll meet with the same types of professionals you see in a doctor's office — a licensed health care practitioner. They’ll help answer your health-related questions, perform a medical exam and select health screenings in the comfort of your home. If you choose, your family members, loved ones or caregivers are welcome to sit in on the visit and ask questions. A typical visit is up to a full hour.

The results of your exam and screening will be sent to both you and your primary care provider (PCP).

You'll meet with a licensed health care practitioner who may be a nurse practitioner, physician assistant or medical doctor. Just like the professionals you see in your regular doctor’s office, our staff are state licensed and maintain national certification. We take the extra step of performing background checks on our clinical staff to provide additional assurance for our members.

It’s always a good idea to double-check eligibility with your health plan. Call the phone number on your member ID card to confirm.

If your family member is enrolled in an eligible health plan, they can also have a HouseCalls visit at no additional cost. Each eligible member must schedule their own HouseCalls visit.

• HouseCalls supplements your doctor’s care with an extra set of eyes looking out for your health between regular doctor’s visits.

• Your in-home health care practitioner will help you by supporting existing relationships with doctors — and can also help you establish relationships with new care resources if needed.

• Doctor’s appointments can sometimes feel rushed, and you may not know what to ask. HouseCalls health care practitioners can provide you with a checklist of important questions and topics specific to your needs to discuss with your doctor at your next visit. This helps ensure you get the information you need.

Absolutely. Your loved ones, caregivers or friends are welcome during the visit.
