How we’re addressing and solving the challenge

In-home and virtual comprehensive clinical visits ensure ease and convenience

Optum HouseCalls in-home and virtual comprehensive clinical visits enable us to meet your members in their home, assess their needs to improve their health and help you achieve your goals.  

Our APCs visit members in their homes nationwide

The HouseCalls traveling network is made up of 420+ APCs who log thousands of miles every year visiting members in their homes. This enables the HouseCalls program to reach members nationwide, including those living in sparsely populated counties. 

We close gaps in care and reduce ED visits and hospital stays

A peer-reviewed study published in Medical Care observed reductions in both emergency department (ED) visits and inpatient hospital stays for those receiving HouseCalls visits for certain conditions. 

Personalized care addresses social determinants of health

HouseCalls plays a crucial role in addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) by providing personalized care directly in the member’s living environment. 

A home visit from a HouseCalls nurse helps save a life

For Jack, a Medicare Advantage plan member, a preventive care visit from Heather, a HouseCalls nurse practitioner, may have helped save his life.
