URMBT’s Health & Well-Being Call program expands to include virtual visits

As we announced in a June Record article, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is using Signify Health for the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, or URMBT, Health & Well-Being Call program.

Through the program, a licensed doctor or nurse practitioner calls eligible URMBT subscribers and spouses to discuss their health status and identify any gaps in care. Starting June 1, Signify Health will offer members a virtual visit to conduct the wellness assessment. A virtual visit consists of audio and video components through a computer, tablet or smartphone.

These meetings include checks on the member’s well-being, an opportunity for the member to ask medical questions, and allows the practitioner to share information and care resources available to the member.
 
Signify Health will contact you if they are scheduled to call or virtually contact a patient who identifies you as their primary care physician. Following the call, Signify Health will send you a copy of the completed health assessment with any recommendations it  made to your patient regarding their health and follow-up care.

The program is available to URMBT members who have one of our Medicare Advantage plans (either Medicare Plus Blue^SM or BCN Advantage^SM), as well as newly retired URMBT members who have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s Enhanced Care Plan, or ECP.
