HouseCalls: Fewer ED visits, hospital stays
The page describes Optum's HouseCalls program, which provides in-home assessments to Medicare Advantage members to expand access to care, provide education, and coordinate follow-up care. It cites a Yale Medicine study finding that members who received HouseCalls visits had fewer emergency department visits and hospital stays, improving their health and wellbeing. The visible page does not include specific quantitative figures from the study; a downloadable case study is offered for further detail.
