Our multidisciplinary team provides mobile optometry, podiatry, audiology, in-home lab testing, and diagnostic screenings for patients in private homes, apartments, assisted living communities, and long-term care facilities.

Affinity Health Plan Is Now Affinity by Molina Healthcare
If the name on your card looks different than it used to, you are not alone. Molina Healthcare acquired Affinity Health Plan in 2021, and the plan now operates as Affinity by Molina Healthcare. Many members still search for “Affinity Health Plan,” and both names refer to the same downstate New York health plan.
Affinity by Molina Healthcare focuses on Medicaid-type coverage, including:
- Medicaid Managed Care: Health coverage for eligible children and adults with low income.
- Molina Healthcare PLUS: A program for eligible Medicaid members over age 21 that adds specialized behavioral health care.
- Child Health Plus: Free or low-cost coverage for eligible children under 19.
- Essential Plan: Coverage for eligible individuals based on income, which Molina notes includes dental and vision benefits.
Members who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are often enrolled in a different type of plan, such as Molina’s Senior Whole Health of New York. If you are not sure which plan you have, your member ID card or the Member Services number listed on it can confirm it quickly.
Affinity Health Plan At-Home Care FAQs
Does Affinity Health Plan cover at-home healthcare visits?
Coverage for at-home healthcare depends on which Affinity by Molina Healthcare plan you have, the specific service you need, and whether that service is considered medically necessary. Affinity’s plans, including Medicaid Managed Care, Molina Healthcare PLUS, Child Health Plus, and the Essential Plan, each have their own list of covered benefits and rules for specialty care. Some services may require a referral from your primary care provider or approval from the plan in advance. The most reliable way to confirm coverage for at-home eye exams, podiatry, hearing care, or lab testing is to review your Member Handbook or call the Member Services number on your ID card. Once you know what your plan covers, Aspire Healthcare Solutions can help you schedule the at-home visit you need.
Is Affinity Health Plan a Medicaid plan?
Yes. Affinity Health Plan, now known as Affinity by Molina Healthcare, focuses on Medicaid-type coverage in downstate New York. Its plans include Medicaid Managed Care for eligible children and adults with low income, Molina Healthcare PLUS for eligible Medicaid members over 21 who need specialized behavioral health care, Child Health Plus for eligible children under 19, and the Essential Plan for eligible individuals based on income. Each plan has its own eligibility requirements. If you have Affinity Health Plan coverage and need specialty care but find it difficult to travel, Aspire Healthcare Solutions brings eye care, foot care, hearing care, and diagnostic testing to your home.
Does Affinity Health Plan cover eye exams and glasses?
Vision benefits are part of several Affinity by Molina Healthcare plans, and Molina notes that the Essential Plan includes both dental and vision benefits. The exact services covered, how often you can receive them, and any limits on eyewear depend on your specific plan, so your Member Handbook is the best place to confirm the details. For members who have trouble getting to an eye doctor, Aspire Healthcare Solutions offers mobile optometry at home, including comprehensive eye exams, dilated eye exams, retinal imaging, vision testing, and glasses. For members with diabetes, our diabetic retinal exams help identify eye changes early, which is one of the most important steps in protecting long-term vision.
Do I need a referral to see a specialist with Affinity Health Plan?
Many managed care plans, including Medicaid managed care plans, coordinate specialty care through your primary care provider, and some services may require a referral or prior approval from the plan. Whether you need a referral for an at-home eye exam, podiatry visit, hearing evaluation, or lab test depends on your specific Affinity by Molina Healthcare plan and the service involved. Calling the Member Services number on your ID card before your visit is the quickest way to find out. If a referral is needed, your primary care provider’s office can usually help you take care of it, and Aspire’s team can help you schedule once you are ready.
What if I have both Medicare and Medicaid?
Affinity by Molina Healthcare’s plans focus on Medicaid-type coverage, so members who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are often enrolled in a different kind of plan built for dual-eligible members, such as Molina’s Senior Whole Health of New York. Your member ID card will show which plan you have, and the Member Services number on that card can explain how your Medicare and Medicaid benefits work together. Aspire Healthcare Solutions does not sell or enroll members in health plans, but if you have both Medicare and Medicaid and need specialty care at home, let our team know which plans you have when you call. For help choosing or changing coverage, you can contact Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or reach out to NY State of Health.

Why Affinity Health Plan Members Put Off Care, and How At-Home Visits Help
Coverage solves one problem. Getting to the appointment is a separate one. Members who use a wheelchair or walker, live with chronic pain, or recover slowly from physical exertion often find that a single specialist visit takes a full day. Even when a ride can be arranged, the waiting, the transfers, and the time away from home can make it easier to cancel than to go.
Those cancellations add up. Diabetic eye disease and foot problems can progress without obvious symptoms. Circulation issues can develop gradually. Hearing and vision loss can make everyday tasks harder without anyone noticing how much has changed. When care is hard to reach, small problems have more time to become bigger ones.
At-home visits remove the barrier instead of asking members to push through it. The specialist comes to you, the visit happens in a familiar space, and family members do not have to rearrange work or childcare to make it happen. For many Affinity Health Plan members, that difference is what finally makes consistent care possible.
Who Benefits Most From At-Home Care With Affinity by Molina Healthcare
- Adults living with diabetes, heart disease, or other chronic conditions that need regular monitoring
- Members with physical disabilities or limited mobility
- Older adults and residents of assisted living or long-term care facilities
- Members recovering from illness or surgery who find travel difficult
- People who have fallen behind on eye exams, foot care, or lab work
- Family caregivers managing appointments for a parent, spouse, or adult child
Understanding Your Affinity Health Plan Benefits for At-Home Care
Each Affinity by Molina Healthcare plan has its own covered services, rules, and requirements. Your Member Handbook explains what your plan includes, and the Member Services number on your ID card can answer questions about specific services, referrals, or prior authorization before your visit.
Some plans require a referral from your primary care provider before you see a specialist, and certain services may need approval from the plan in advance. Checking these details ahead of time helps your visit go smoothly. When you contact Aspire, keep your member ID card nearby and let us know which services you need.
Aspire Healthcare Solutions is an independent healthcare provider. We are not an insurance company or broker, and we do not sell, recommend, or enroll members in health plans. Our role is to bring expert care to your door.
Results That Keep Working After Your Visit
The value of an at-home visit does not end when our clinician leaves. A new pair of glasses can make reading labels, managing medications, and moving around the house easier. Hearing care can bring someone back into conversations with family and friends. Regular podiatry visits can support comfortable walking and help members stay more independent.
Early detection is where at-home care can matter most. Retinal exams, PAD testing, and in-home lab work give you and your doctor clearer information about how your health is changing, which supports earlier conversations about care. Just as important, members who find appointments easy to keep are more likely to keep them, building a steady routine of preventive care over time.
