- UnitedHealthcare Healthy at Home to help retirees return
home after a stay at a hospital or nursing facility
- Supports whole-person health by providing meals,
transportation and in-home care
UnitedHealthcare announced it will be launching
UnitedHealthcare® Healthy at Home, a new offering designed to help
retirees safely transition back home after being discharged from a
hospital or skilled nursing facility.
UnitedHealthcare Healthy at Home, specifically created for its
Group Retiree Medicare Advantage plans, will enable employers and
plan sponsors to support their retirees’ whole-person health by
providing access to benefits that address a range of social needs
that help keep retirees healthy at home, including:
- Post-Discharge Meal Delivery, which will provide up to
28 meals (two meals per day for two weeks) following all inpatient
or skilled nursing facility discharges for retirees when referred
by a UnitedHealthcare advocate. The most vulnerable members are
proactively contacted by UnitedHealthcare advocates following their
discharge to receive these services.
- Post-Discharge Transportation, which will include up to
12 one-way rides to and from medically related appointments and to
the pharmacy following every inpatient or skilled nursing facility
discharge when referred by a UnitedHealthcare advocate.
- In-Home Personal Care, which will provide up to six
hours of in-home personal care following all inpatient and skilled
nursing facility discharges. Retirees receive assistance with
activities of daily living to support their recovery and follow-up
care to help reduce the risk of hospital readmission.
Services will be available every time a retiree is discharged
from a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
“We’re designing Healthy at Home to reduce unplanned hospital
readmissions, improve a retiree’s health, and enhance their health
care experience from the convenience of their home,” said Craig
Condon, CEO, UnitedHealthcare Retiree Solutions. “We’re pleased to
offer our clients and their retirees a holistic health plan that is
unmatched in the market.”
UnitedHealthcare’s Group Medicare Advantage plans are designed
to help people navigate care from everywhere – home, in-person,
online and across every touch point in between. UnitedHealthcare
Healthy at Home adds to existing benefits members can access
through UnitedHealthcare’s Group Medicare Advantage plans, such as
the nation’s largest Medicare Advantage provider network,
coordinated care, tailored support and more.
UnitedHealthcare Healthy at Home is being made available to
employers with Group Retiree Medicare Advantage plans beginning
Jan. 1, 2022. For more information about UnitedHealthcare’s
