Caregiver Access To Your Plan Details

Many people trust someone else to help with healthcare matters. This person may be an adult child, spouse, sibling, or close friend. Humana calls this person a "caregiver." We can share your information with a caregiver – but, by law, we need your permission first. Here's what to do:

  1. Download and print the document below
  2. Fill out the "Consent for Release of Protected Health Information" page
  3. Sign the form
  4. Follow the instructions on the form to return it to Humana

This consent only allows us to share information. It's different from granting medical power of attorney – which allows someone to make decisions about your care.

Another option is to give us authorization over the phone. With this option, you must be present when your caregiver talks to Humana for you. Please call a Customer Care specialist at 1-800-4HUMANA. If you use a TTY, call 711, seven days a week, 8 a.m. — 8 p.m..

National Comprehensive Cancer Network

Humana members have a lot of options when choosing a cancer center. Most people can get excellent cancer treatment close to home. But some cancers require services from specialized institutions and doctors.

The Centers of Excellence listed on this site are members of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. They have been recognized for leadership in their field. NCCN is an alliance of 19 cancer centers. They work together to develop treatment guidelines for most cancers and strive to improve the effectiveness of cancer care.

We want you to know about the programs developed by NCCN and its member institutions. That way, you can make informed decisions about cancer treatment.

Before seeking treatment at one of these facilities, please check to make sure they're in your plan's network.
