Humana's MyChoice ToolsSM Assists Members,
Providers
 Over
the past few years there has been increasing interest from members
and employers in understanding more about the health care process.
Providing this information is termed "transparency." As
part of Humana's ongoing initiative on transparency, members
now see a new look to the transparency tools available on Humana.com.
Humana's
MyChoice ToolsSM is a redesigned suite of tools made up of all
of Humana's transparency resources, now found in one location
and separated into the following three categories:
- "Compare Doctors"
- "Compare Hospitals"
- "Compare Outpatient Facilities"
Humana's
goal in the redesign is to provide an improved member experience,
making the tools more readily available and easier to understand
than before. These tools can also help providers distinguish their
practice and possibly build their referral base.
In addition to
the reorganization, other enhancements that were made include the
following:
- A new "Compare Doctors" tool that allows members
to view cost estimates for physicians in primary care (pediatricians,
family medicine, internal medicine) and a number of specialties,
including allergy, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, ENT,
emergency, gastroenterology, gynecology, neurology, ophthalmology
and orthopedics. The physician types most likely to treat the
selected condition are the only physicians displayed on the tool.
- A new design
that is easier to understand and navigate.
- Cost and quality measures
are presented side-by-side for hospitals.
- The number of procedures
has been expanded for hospital and outpatient facility comparisons.
The
MyChoice Tools are accessed via the secure MyHumana area
of Humana.com.
Members will need to be registered on Humana.com and then log in
to access the tools.
