This is fine for those who need it, but I am wondering the reasoning for those who are well. Seems quite expensive for United Healthcare. What are they looking for? Any thoughts? Am deciding whether to participate or opt out.

We both felt it would be a duplication of services and couldn't determine any real value, so we opted out. As you suggest, though, people who are homebound or who have transportation issues may skip important appointments (which can drive up costs), and I can see how that program might be especially useful to them. UHC must justify the cost in preventable claims.
