Why Is Nsight Health Contacting You? A Patient Guide to Our Calls, Texts, Emails and Mail

If you recently received a phone call, text message, email, or letter from Nsight Health, you may be wondering who we are and how we got your information. That is a fair and smart question to ask any time a company reaches out to you about your health. Here is the short, honest answer.

You are hearing from Nsight Health because your own doctor or clinic referred you to a care program they offer through us. We are not a telemarketer, and we did not find your contact information on our own. Your trusted provider asked us to help support your health between visits, and reaching out to you is the first step.

We know that unexpected calls about health and Medicare make a lot of people cautious, and they should. This guide explains exactly why we may be contacting you, what we will and will not ever ask for, and three simple ways you can confirm that an outreach is really from us. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable and in control, not pressured.

The quick version

  • Why us: Your doctor or clinic chose to partner with Nsight Health and referred you to a care program. We work as an extension of your care team.
  • What it is: Supportive care that helps your doctor keep an eye on your health between office visits, so small changes can be caught early.
  • What we will never do: We will never demand payment over the phone, ask for gift cards, pressure you, or ask for your full Social Security number out of the blue.
  • Your choice: Taking part is completely voluntary. You can ask questions, take your time, decline, or stop at any point.
  • How to verify: Call your doctor's office, or call our patient care line directly at 888-270-4225, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Who is Nsight Health?

Nsight Health is a United States based remote care company that helps doctors and clinics care for their patients beyond the walls of the office. When a condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a heart or lung condition needs attention between visits, your doctor can enroll you in a care program that we help run on their behalf.

The people who call and support you are a U.S.-based clinical team employed by Nsight Health, including nurses and trained health coaches. We are not a software-only vendor and we are not a call center reading from a sales script. We follow the direction of your own provider, and your provider stays in charge of your care.

Trusted by patients and providers across the country

Nsight Health supports more than 150,000 patients, works with over 2,000 providers across more than 500 clinics, and has monitored more than 40 million vital readings. We are an established company, and all of our programs operate under your supervising provider's oversight, with secure, HIPAA-compliant handling of your health information.

Why did my doctor have someone else reach out?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it is a good one. Many doctors today partner with a dedicated care team like Nsight Health so their patients get more support without long waits or extra trips to the office. Your doctor's staff is often busy caring for people in the clinic, so they ask a trusted partner to handle the regular check-ins, device setup, and day-to-day monitoring.

Think of it this way. Your doctor is still the captain of your care. We are part of the crew your doctor chose to help you stay healthy between appointments. Everything we observe is shared back with your provider so they can make decisions about your treatment.

What kind of care program were you referred to?

Depending on your health needs, your doctor may have referred you to one or more of the four programs we support. Here is what each one means in plain language.

Program What it helps with
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Your doctor sends you an easy-to-use home device, such as a blood pressure cuff, glucose meter, that automatically shares your readings with your care team so changes can be caught early.
Chronic Care Management (CCM) Regular check-ins and coordination for patients managing two or more ongoing health conditions, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Principal Care Management (PCM) Focused support for one specific, more serious condition that needs close attention for a period of time.
Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) Extra support for emotional and mental well-being, coordinated alongside your regular medical care.

You can read more about each program on our service pages: Remote Patient Monitoring, Chronic Care Management, Principal Care Management, and Behavioral Health Integration.

How might Nsight Health contact you?

Because everyone has a different preference, you may hear from us in more than one way. Here is what each type of outreach is for, and what we will and will not do.

How we reach out Why we use it What we will never do
Phone call To welcome you, explain the program your doctor referred you to, and answer your questions. Demand immediate payment, ask for gift cards, or pressure you to decide on the spot.
Text message (SMS) To send appointment reminders, simple check-ins, or a link to confirm details. Ask you to send your full Social Security number or banking details by text.
Email To share helpful information, program details, and ways to reach your care team. Send threatening messages or ask you to log in through a suspicious link.
Letter or direct mail To introduce the program in writing and provide a number you can call to learn more. Claim you owe money you never agreed to or threaten loss of your benefits.

Is this a scam?

No. An outreach from Nsight Health is a legitimate part of the care your own doctor set up for you. We understand the worry, because there really are health-related scams out there, and government agencies have warned the public about them.

The most important thing to know is the simple test that government watchdogs recommend. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General advises that a trusted health care provider you already know should be the one who approves any new device or service, and that you should be cautious of unsolicited callers who request your Medicare number. With Nsight Health, that test is met, because your own provider referred you. We are connected to a doctor you already trust, not a stranger who found your number.

How to tell legitimate care from a scam

It is always worth knowing the warning signs so you can protect yourself, no matter who is calling. Here is how a legitimate care program like ours compares to a typical scam.

A legitimate care program (like Nsight Health) Common scam warning signs
Is connected to your own doctor, who referred you. Comes from a stranger with no link to a doctor you know.
Explains the program clearly and answers your questions. Pushes a "free" device or offer and rushes you to say yes.
Lets you take your time and decline without pressure. Uses fear, urgency, or threats about your benefits.
Never asks for gift cards or payment by unusual methods. Asks for gift cards, wire transfers, or your full Social Security number.
Can be verified by calling your clinic or our published number. Cannot be verified, and the caller avoids giving real details.

If anyone ever offers you free medical equipment and then asks for your Medicare number, the safest step is to hang up and check with your doctor first. You can report suspected Medicare fraud to 1-800-MEDICARE or to the HHS-OIG Hotline at 1-800-447-8477.

Three easy ways to confirm it is really us

You never have to take our word for it. If you want to be sure an outreach is genuinely from Nsight Health, here are three simple ways to check.

  1. Call your doctor's office. Ask whether they referred you to Nsight Health for a care program. Your clinic can confirm the partnership.
  2. Call our patient care line directly. You can reach our U.S.-based team at 888-270-4225, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also visit our patient website at getremotecare.com.
  3. Watch what we ask for. A real Nsight Health team member will confirm details your clinic already has. We will never demand payment by gift card, threaten you, or ask for your full Social Security number out of nowhere.

Will this cost me anything?

Taking part in a care program is your choice, and we want you to understand any costs before you decide. These programs are typically provided as Medicare Part B services, which means Medicare usually covers most of the cost. Many patients also have secondary or supplemental insurance that helps cover the rest. Because every insurance plan is different, the best step is to let our team or your insurance provider walk you through what, if anything, would apply to you. We will help you check before you enroll, so there are no surprises.

Do I have to say yes? Can I opt out later?

Joining is always voluntary. You are free to ask as many questions as you like, take time to think, and decide what is right for you. There are no contracts and no obligations. If you join and later change your mind, you can stop at any time by telling your Nsight nurse or health coach, emailing our support team, or calling us at 888-270-4225. Choosing not to participate will not affect your relationship with your doctor.

Is my health information private?

Yes. Protecting your information is something we take seriously. Nsight Health follows federal privacy law, including HIPAA, and uses secure systems to handle your health data. We work under the authorization of your own provider, and the health information we collect is used to support your care and is shared with your doctor's team. You can learn more about how privacy and HIPAA work in healthcare in our guide to privacy, HIPAA, and healthcare compliance.

What happens if I join?

Getting started is simple, and our team guides you through every step.

  • A friendly welcome call to explain the program and answer your questions.
  • If your program includes a device, we mail you an easy-to-use one that is ready to go. There is no complicated setup, and our team helps if you need it.
  • Regular, supportive check-ins. Most patients hear from their care team about once a month, and we adjust if your needs change.
  • Your readings and updates are shared with your doctor, so your whole care team stays informed.
