New, Improved Web Site for Providers

Providers visiting www.Humana.com will find a more robust, reorganized Web site that makes it easier to find the information they need to do business with Humana.

The redesigned provider site, which was introduced earlier this month (see image, below), is organized in sections and offers providers and their office staff information and tools to help them file claims, learn about prescription and health plans and link to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) information and resources.

The chart below shows some of the services available online.

“The redesign is just the first step in transforming the consumer experience by giving providers the tools that they need and request,” said Dianna Moore, project manager. Call your Humana connectivity consultant to ask questions about Web site services for providers or to discuss training needs.
