Medicare Advantage is Here to Stay

Humana continues to create innovative ways to stay ahead of the curve by:
  • achieving medical costs 15% below traditional Medicare in the near term to establish program viability.
  • effectively managing acute episodic events through the post-acute phase and guiding members to appropriate care management solutions.
  • focusing on wellness and chronic condition management to ensure savings over the long term.
  • building Medicare HMO and PPO networks capable of supporting retirees nationwide.

Humana has been building infrastructure and processes that will enable us to achieve costs 15 percent below traditional Medicare. Humana is dedicated to the growth and sustainability of our Medicare Advantage products.

What does this mean to you and your clients?

You can have confidence in providing a viable solution for your client's retiree health benefits. We have the expertise and experience in integrating medical and prescription drug plan (Part D) into a single plan which makes administration less complex and more efficient. In addition, moving to full-replacement Medicare Advantage benefits may reduce per member per month costs, resulting in appreciable annual savings and reduced FASB and GASB liability.

New business quotes with a January 1, 2012 effective date are available now.
