I have BCBS. I told them I have a good doctor who sees that all medical needs are addressed and didn't need anyone coming to my house. I hadn't heard of this before and just wanted to see if anyone else is getting calls like this.

I’ve also been told they do an evaluation of the home and make suggestions about bars in the bathroom, remodel of rugs and other safety issues.
I do remember an old guy telling me he had a home nurse visit him a couple of times a week. He said he liked it because they bathed him.

Do not do it….the less insurance companies know about you, the better.

Before you get excited and answer the door buck-nekkid, make certain it isn't a male nurse (if there is such a thing).
Unless, of course, you are into that...

That is exactly what I told them on the phone. I shouldn't need an in home evaluation. I am 58, work multiple jobs, blood work done in February looked great.

You aren't going through a contested divorce are you? I swear I've heard this one before.

Good for you. Do you think someone reported she wasn't being properly taken care of or isn't able take care of herself?

The in home evaluations can be either good or bad. Guess it depends on your health and situation.
As someone else mentioned it does include an evaluation of your socioeconomic status to see if you need any help. So for the elderly living alone, a social services consult could be placed to help with safety in the home, but also things like transportation or assistance with paying for meds and food.
Could be bad, I guess because there is a review of your medications and any diagnosis that has been claimed or filed. The evaluator will either confirm, deny, or defer each diagnosis, medication, or claim.
Then there is a quick physical exam, which may or may not confirm a new diagnosis.
It’s another set of eyes on your health and it depends on who gets sent out to do your evaluation. Also, some people qualify for in home testing of different diseases.
Lastly some instances offer gift cards for your time anywhere from $25-$100.

You guys don’t get it. The insurance companies that are medicare, medicaid, or part of obamacare that get paid by the government get so much per year per patient. This amount is partially determined by what conditions were coded for during the previous year. The provider who comes to your house makes sure to document all your health conditions, ensuring they are coded so the insurance company gets the max dollar amount for you for next year. None of it affects what is covered for you by insurance and they can’t deny you for anything based on the visit.

My insurance calls it a “wellness visit”. I did it one time and they just talked to me about being too fat, blood pressure, triglycerides, etc. I now just tell them I am not interested, it was a bunch of common-sense information that I took no action on.

Would you let an insurance nurse come to your house?

Humana calls repeatedly for my husband to have this done. They came a couple of times. They call incessantly and I keep telling them no, but they still call from several different numbers.
