In-home health assessments

We partner with HouseCalls1 to bring you health assessment visits with a licensed medical professional in the comfort of your home.

What are HouseCalls?

It's not always easy to find a doctor in your area or travel to the doctor's office for a health assessment visit. At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC), we don't want those challenges to get in the way of your health and well-being.

With HouseCalls, eligible members can get a free in-home health assessment from a medical professional. When you can't get to the clinic, we can come to you.

What to expect during your home visit

During your visit, your clinician will check your vitals and talk to you about your health history. They can also talk to you about topics like:

  • Mental health concerns
  • Nutrition needs
  • Ongoing pain
  • Fall risk
  • Any other factors preventing you from living your healthiest life

If you have an urgent health need, your clinician can make a referral or work with your primary care provider (PCP) to make sure you get the follow-up care you need.
