Summary
Point32Health is launching a new in-home preventive screening program for Tufts Health Plan SCO and Medicare Preferred members, offering free at-home test kits for kidney function (uACR/eGFR), colon cancer screening (FIT), and HbA1c testing. Billing teams should expect screening results to be shared with providers by mail, enabling care plan adjustments, but no direct billing action is required as these are insurer-sponsored screenings.
Action Required
No immediate billing action required. This is a Tufts Health Plan vendor-managed initiative (SNT Biotech) for members, not a change to provider billing workflows or coding practices. Providers should monitor mail for patient screening results and integrate results into patient care records and EMR systems as appropriate. If billing questions arise regarding any patient follow-up care triggered by these screenings, contact Tufts Health Plan directly. Note: The policy states 'beginning next month' but does not specify an exact effective date.
