Sounded like a good deal for someone to come to my home instead of having to make an appointment with my Dr. All my health issues (which are pretty non-existent) are already shared with the ins company anyway, so what does it matter if I get my BP checked in a Dr's office or at home? But having said that, I declined. At the time I didn't understand the service. They never called me back and I kind of wish they would.
