9. You are free to refuse these visits, but it really is

to make sure everything is copacetic with you.

I likewise am on Medicare with Humana as my Advantage plan provider. I went with them after researching the various plans available to me, because of the experience an older friend of mine had with Humana. She had a pulmonary embolism two years ago, was in a medically induced coma for about five days, spent another week in ICU and a few more days in a regular unit. After she returned home they sent a home health care person to make sure everything is okay.

It's really not a big brother thing, but the sort of attention and care we should all be getting.

But still, if you want to refuse the visit, it's perfectly within your right to do so.

I'm not taking full advantage of all the little perks Human offers me either. Although they haven't wanted to make a home visit so far.
