Beginning in December, Tufts Health Together members ages 18 and older can choose to participate in a pilot program that provides in-home and virtual health evaluations to patients. Offered by Signify Health in collaboration with Point32Health, the program is of no cost to members and is designed to complement the care they receive from their primary care providers.
Tufts Health Together members who opt into the program can choose between in-home and virtual health evaluations. During in-home visits, members will meet with a licensed Signify Health clinician who will review their medications and medical history, check their vital signs, look for safety risks, and answer any health-related questions. Patients who prefer a virtual evaluation will talk with a Signify clinician via video call using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Throughout the course of the call, the clinician will review the patient’s medical history and medications and address any health-related questions or concerns.
If you have Tufts Health Together members in your care who are participating in the Signify program, you will receive a summary of their in-home or virtual health evaluations along with comprehensive notes from their assigned Signify Health clinician. If needed, Signify Health will help connect your patients with other health care resources and services while keeping you informed.
Signify Health’s evaluation services are not intended to replace regular visits with primary care providers and are aimed instead at helping members proactively manage their health while enjoying more healthy time at home.
