Medicare Advantage members with open gaps in care to receive in-home test kits

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are contracting with Everlywell, an independent company, to distribute in-home test kits to select Medicare Advantage members in September. Everlywell was previously named Home Access Health. If your patients receive an advance notice letter about the kits and have questions, encourage them to take advantage of this convenient, no-cost testing.

Members who have an open gap in care for a colorectal cancer screening will receive a FIT™ kit, which allows them to screen for colorectal cancer at home. If a member also has an open gap in care for hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c, testing, they will receive an HbA1c test kit.

Members are encouraged to discuss test results with their primary care providers. In 2023, providers will be able to access their patient results in Everlywell’s portal.

Test result notification:

	Normal results	Abnormal results
