The clinician will share a summary of the visit with the member's regular doctor

The summary will include details of the visit, such as the member's vital signs, reflexes, medical history, medications, and any preventive screenings performed. This information will help the member's regular doctor to have a comprehensive understanding of the member's health and make informed decisions about their care.

It is important to note that the care provided during the home visit is not ongoing. The home visit is typically a one-time service, and any further care or treatment will be handled by the member's regular doctor. The role of the clinician is to conduct the home visit, gather relevant health information, and share their findings with the member's regular doctor.

The clinician's summary will help the member's regular doctor identify any health concerns that may require further attention. For example, if the clinician identifies a serious health condition during the home visit, the summary will enable the member's doctor to initiate the appropriate treatment plan. This coordination between the clinician and the member's regular doctor ensures continuity of care and can help improve the member's overall health outcomes.

The home visit is a one-time service and is not an ongoing care option

The Healthy Home Visit Program by Aetna is a one-time service that offers preventive care to members at no added cost. This means that members are entitled to a yearly in-home health visit from a licensed clinician, which can be scheduled online or over the phone. The visit includes checking vital signs and reflexes, reviewing medical history, addressing any concerns, and performing preventive screenings.

This service is not an ongoing care option, but rather a single opportunity for members to receive care from the comfort of their homes. The visit lasts up to an hour, and a summary of the visit is shared directly with the member and their doctor. If any immediate concerns arise, Aetna helps coordinate the care needed.

While the home visit is a one-time service, members can also opt for a virtual telehealth appointment instead of an in-person visit. This flexibility ensures that members can receive care in the way that best suits their needs and preferences.

It is important to note that the home visit is completely optional, and members are not obligated to participate if they do not wish to.
