Medicare Supplement insurance plans like those offered by Humana help cover some of the costs not covered by Medicare Parts A and B such as deductibles and coinsurance.

Medicare Supplement plans are purchased in addition to your Medicare Parts A and B benefits. When you choose a Medicare Supplement plan, you still have all of your Medicare rights and protections.

It should be noted that Medicare Supplement plans are not managed care.

Why Choose a Medicare Supplement plan?

  • Choice of plans – Humana offers a range of Medicare Supplement plans. Your premium may vary based upon the plan you choose.
  • More predictable costs – These plans help cover some of the costs not covered by Parts A and B of Medicare such as deductibles and coinsurance, so you have more predictable costs.
  • Keep the same doctors – Medicare Supplement plans give you the freedom to choose any healthcare provider, even if you're traveling.

Humana Medicare Supplement Plans

In most states, policies are standardized into plans labeled A through N as required by state laws. In Massachusetts1, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, Medicare Supplement policies are standardized in a different way.

Here's an overview of the key features of the plans we offer. Humana offerings may vary by state.

Plans A and B

Plan A provides basic coverage for hospitalization and medical expenses. Plan B includes the same basic benefits, plus coverage for your Part A deductible.

Plan C

Plan C offers more coverage than plans A or B. You get the basic benefits, plus coverage for the Part A and the Part B deductible, skilled nursing care, and emergency care abroad. Please note that for emergency care abroad you will be subject to a yearly deductible of $250 and a benefit amount of 80% to a lifetime maximum of $50,000.

Plan F

Plan F offers the basic benefits, plus coverage for both the Part A and the Part B deductible, skilled nursing care, emergency care abroad, and 100% of Part B excess charges (the difference between what a doctor or provider charges and the amount Medicare will pay up to Medicare's limiting amount)2. Please note that for emergency care abroad you will be subject to a yearly deductible of $250 and a benefit amount of 80% to a lifetime maximum of $50,000. Plan F also has a high-deductible option that can lower your premiums. The 2011 deductible is $2,000.

Plans K and L

These lower-premium policies cover a range of medical costs, including doctor's services and hospital care. The plan pays a percentage of your costs — 50% for Plan K and 75% for Plan L — and then you are responsible for a portion. Each plan has an out-of-pocket maximum, which limits the amount you will have to pay each year.

Medicare Supplement insurance policies may not fully cover all your healthcare costs. They are designed to coordinate with benefits provided by the Federal Medicare program and will not cover any service or portion of a service that is not a Medicare eligible expense. Examples may include:

  • Long-term care to help you with daily tasks such as dressing, eating, etc.
  • Vision or dental care
  • Hearing aids
  • Private-duty nursing
  • Prescription drugs

Medical expenses incurred prior to the effective date of insurance may not be covered for a period of time. This time period may be reduced depending on when you apply or satisfied by prior coverage.
