As we get older, balance becomes more important than ever. Staying steady on your feet helps you feel confident moving around, keeps you active and can help prevent serious injuries from falling. The good news is there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of falling.

For Samantha “Sami” Shafranski, a Wisconsin physician assistant (PA), caring for others isn’t just part of her job, it’s a calling rooted in family, faith and the small-town values she grew up with.

Taking a small step toward feeling your best can be as simple as opening your front door. Signify Health teams up with top health insurance plans to bring no- or low-cost, in-home visits to individuals who could benefit from a little extra attention.

Here’s the scoop: Your health insurance plan might identify you as someone who qualifies. Then, you will be scheduled for a visit at a time and date that works for you. Not in a clinic or office setting but in your home.

These visits, called In-Home Health Evaluations (IHEs) aren’t meant to replace your regular doctor visits. Instead, they’re a helpful add-on. And people who have experienced an IHE say they’re worth it.

I often hear from many older adults (aged 65 and older) about the complexities of the health care system. Many find it hard to access and difficult to understand.

At Signify Health, part of CVS Health®, our mission is to build trusted relationships to make people healthier. Our national network of more than 12,000 clinicians works to help people gain a more comprehensive view of their health by conducting In-Home Health Evaluations (IHEs). During an IHE, clinicians identify chronic conditions, close gaps in care, and address social determinants of health, making it possible for health plan members to get connected to the right care for their unique needs.
