Abstract
In 2016, HouseCalls began conducting point-of-care hemoglobin A1c screening as part of an annual preventative home visit program for patients covered under one Medicare Advantage health plan. This retrospective study (n = 34,348) evaluated the impact of this intervention on the following year's body mass index and hemoglobin A1c.
