The Impact of High Blood Pressure and the Benefits of an in-Home Program on Improving HEDIS Control

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a pervasive and costly health condition in the United States. It affects nearly half of all adults and is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health complications. Uncontrolled hypertension significantly impacts individual health and quality of life and imposes a substantial financial burden on the healthcare system and health plans.

This paper sheds light on the challenges with high blood pressure and its associated costs, and the positive impact Modivcare’s* home-based Hypertension Monitoring Program has on improving blood pressure control for participants. Additionally, it explores the significant benefits that health plans can achieve by prioritizing and implementing effective strategies to help participants’ blood pressures remain at or below stage-1 hypertension.
