WELCOME TO AFFINITY HEALTH
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a paradigm shift in our way of life. It has underscored the significance of our homes as sanctuaries, serving as not only a safe haven but also a versatile space for work, dining, and healthcare services. This newfound perspective is especially crucial for vulnerable populations such as critically ill individuals who are homebound, those managing serious health conditions, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities. In the United States, the demand for house call services has surged, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating a growing preference among patients to receive care at home.
The emergence of VBS (Value -Based services), such as the CMS IAH (Independence at Home), which provides a comprehensive range of services including Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC), has been instrumental in meeting this demand. The primary objective of this initiative is to deliver primary care services and other to individuals covered under Commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare plans. By offering convenient in-home care, these services aim to assist individuals in completing preventive and primary care tasks, bridging care gaps, and ultimately reducing unnecessary emergency room visits.
AFFINITY HEALTH now offers the opportunity to have a Medical Provider visit your residence, ensuring that you receive quality care in the comfort of your own home.

What is HBPC?
Home-based primary care is a value-based health service under the Independance At Home initiative asthat allows health care providers to spend more time with their patients, perform assessments in a patient’s home environment, and assume greater accountability for all aspects of the patient’s care. This focus on timely and appropriate care is designed to improve the overall quality of care and quality of life for patients served, while lowering health care costs by forestalling the need for care in institutional settings.
The Independence at Home Demonstration provides chronically ill patients with a complete range of primary care services in the home setting. Medical practices led by physicians or nurse practitioners provide primary care home visits tailored to the needs of beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions and functional limitations. The Demonstration also tests whether home-based care can reduce the need for hospitalization, improve patient and caregiver satisfaction, and lead to better health for beneficiaries and lower costs to Medicare.
The Independence at Home Demonstration is authorized by Section 3024 of the Affordable Care Act. The demonstration began in 2012 and was originally authorized for three years. It was subsequently extended for two additional years through September 30, 2017 by the Medicare Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration Improvement Act of 2015.
