‘Humana Honor’ Medicare Advantage plans are
complementary to VA health care coverage and open up access to a
network of non-VA (civilian) facilities
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that it is launching the
Humana Honor Medicare Advantage plans for 2020. ‘Honor’ underscores
Humana’s commitment to veterans and is designed to complement
health care provided through Veterans Affairs (VA). Humana Honor
also boosts Humana’s Medicare Advantage slate of plans that are
available to all Medicare-eligible individuals, which offer
affordable health benefits and wellness programs with added
convenience and a holistic focus on health and well-being for
veterans and their families. Humana Honor Plans are available to
anyone eligible for Medicare, but are designed in a way that may
complement the benefits a veteran receives through VA
Healthcare.
Highlights of Humana Honor Medicare Advantage plans for
2020:
- All plans are $0 premium, and all but one offer a Part B
giveback (premium reduction).
- Enrolling in Humana Honor may augment VA coverage and help
close any gaps in health care coverage.
- Humana Honor may provide Medicare-eligible veterans with
additional health care services and location options.
- Humana Honor will give veterans access to robust dental
coverage.
- Humana Honor plans offer a broad network, including Urgent Care
access.
Humana’s coordinated effort in creating Medicare Advantage plans
that enhance options for veterans is an important milestone in
helping veterans overcome barriers to achieving their best
health.
“The launch of Humana Honor is a natural next step in our
commitment to veterans and their families,” said Alan Wheatley,
president, Retail Segment at Humana. “Considering care options from
multiple sources can be confusing, and we understand that veteran
health goes beyond physical symptoms – it’s a state of general
well-being that encompasses a healthy body and mind – and our 2020
Humana Honor plans reinforce our ongoing commitment to support the
total care our veterans need, not just in the doctor’s office.”
Humana Honor consists of 17 plans, available in 28 states
including; Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New
Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Washington.
Humana has served Medicare beneficiaries for more than three
decades, with 8.4 million Medicare members in all 50 states,
Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, as of June 30, 2019. Slightly
over 4 million of those members are enrolled in a Medicare
Advantage plan, which often provides them with extra coverage, such
as prescription drug coverage and dental, hearing and vision
benefits.
Humana has a longstanding relationship with the military
community, and is committed to the well-being of all veterans and
their families. Since 2012, Humana has built strong national
relationships with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and American
Veterans (AMVETS). Through a partnership with the VFW’s Uniting to
Combat Hunger campaign, Humana has helped to raise over 500,000
meals for veterans and communities. The VFW and AMVETS have
selected Humana as their national MA/MedSupp/PDP provider1. VFW and
AMVETs members are able to select any MA plan, including a Humana
Honor plan offered in their respective areas.
Humana Military was awarded the TRICARE East Region contract
that covers more than 5.9 million lives across a 30-state region.
This is the largest TRICARE contract to date, and it took effect
January 1, 2018.
