Our associates hope you find this information useful, and we welcome your feedback to governmentrelations@humana.com.
Consumer's Right to Know
A savvy shopper would never buy a car without first comparing prices and historical reliability -- why should choosing your health care providers be any different? Modern consumers should be able to make informed health care treatment decisions by comparing health care facilities on price and quality for non-emergency care.
Consumer's Right to Choose
A personalized solution is always preferable to “one size fits all” -- why not ask for the same individuality from your health coverage? Flexible health insurance options grant consumers the freedom to choose the type of coverage best suited for their individual health care needs.
Health Information Technology
Computerized information has revolutionized many sectors of our economy, but health information technologies remain stuck in the past. It is time to bring health care into the 21st century. Consumers deserve a health care system that uses the latest technology to inform patients, ensure privacy of medical records, reduce medical errors, and deliver convenience and efficiency.
