    What We Do

    Achieving Better Health.

    How We Do It

    UnitedHealth Group is committed to driving improved health outcomes for all people by offering initiatives that provide physicians with tools and evidence-based information to aid decision-making; strengthen home-based care; improve chronic disease management; address determinants of health and change behaviors through prevention and wellness.

    Achieving Better Health

    Strengthening Care With HouseCalls.

    HouseCalls is helping ensure Medicare Advantage members safely and effectively receive proper preventive care by coordinating care with primary care physicians, connecting members with disease management programs and following up with any urgent needs noted during an annual visit.


    HouseCalls provides members with a free in-home annual medical exam by an Advanced Practice Clinician. Visits include a complete health history overview, a physical exam, identification of health risks and gaps in care, coordination with the member’s primary care provider, and development of an individualized plan of care for enrollees in special needs plans. Members are also assessed for other needs, including food, medication, housing affordability, transportation issues, and employment assistance. Social service referrals are coordinated to address any issues that are uncovered.
