Caregiver Resources

Overview

Humana members, or their designated caregivers, have access to services for managing chronic conditions, managing health goals, and even expert advice and guidance from a specially-trained nurse.

We also provide free materials like our quarterly newsletter for caregivers, our Caregiver's Toolkit, as well as informative and inspiring CDs and DVDs.

If you need additional online, by-phone, or in-home care, we have options for you as well, to help relieve the burden of caregiving.

Caregiving Support Services for Humana Members

Humana members have access to services for managing chronic conditions and managing health goals, and may even have access to expert advice and guidance from a specially trained nurse.* We can also help you navigate your own health plan information, and provide resources regarding prescription drug benefits.

  • Call HumanaFirst® Health Planning & Support at 1-800-622-9529 to be referred to many support services. Some plans may even include our nurse hotline* where you can get expert advice and guidance from a specially trained nurse - at no additional cost. You can also find out whether your loved one is eligible to be referred to programs that help manage chronic conditions.
  • Learn to live a healthier, more satisfying life with Humana Active Outlook®, a no-cost life enrichment program for Humana Medicare Advantage members. No matter what your personal health goals are, we can help.
  • The MyHumana website gives members access to their information anytime. Members can check on claims, get details about benefits, estimate medical costs, and more. To find out how you can access this information on behalf of your loved one, click here.
  • Visit our Prescription Drug Resources page to read about programs to help manage medications and get the most value from Rx benefits.
