Humana offers a variety of programs for patients who need care for complex medical situations or support for chronic conditions. Through these programs, care managers collaborate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to help patients manage their healthcare needs while addressing their physical, behavioral, cognitive, social and financial needs.

Overview of programs

Patients who enroll in a Humana care management program are supported by a care manager. The manager's goal is to anticipate the patient’s needs and problems, encourage preventive care and prevent costly interventions through evaluations of medical, functional and psychosocial status.

Humana Care Management programs include telephonic care coordination for:

  • Humana Care Support: high-risk members in Medicare Advantage plans
  • Special Needs Plans (SNP): members in C-SNP and D-SNP plans
  • Illinois Medicare Medicaid Plans (MMP): Medicare/Medicaid members in Illinois
  • Behavioral Healthcare Coordination and Consulting: Medicare-covered patients whose plans include this service.

Humana Care Management supports patients with medical, behavioral health and social determinants of health issues, such as food insecurity, social isolation, loneliness, transportation and housing instability.
