Chosen to Offer Coverage Statewide
Leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM)
has been selected by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) to
deliver health care coverage to Medicaid beneficiaries who live
throughout Ohio starting in early 2022.
Humana will serve adults and children across the state of Ohio
with the goal of helping them improve their health and well-being
through a holistic, value-based approach to care that goes beyond
traditional clinical care.
“It is an honor to be entrusted to serve Ohioans covered by
Medicaid through an individualized and coordinated approach to care
that considers the whole person,” said Humana Medicaid President
John Barger. “Humana is proud to have served Ohio communities for
more than a quarter century, and we share with the Ohio Department
of Medicaid a deep commitment to increasing access to care and to
improving health outcomes, particularly with the backdrop of the
coronavirus pandemic and other public health challenges facing
Ohioans.”
Humana is one of at least 6 health plans selected as part of a
statewide Medicaid managed care procurement issued last year. The
state contract will offer an initial two-year term of service, with
the option of renewal terms thereafter.
More than 566,000 Ohioans currently have health coverage through
Humana Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans,
commercial group health plans, and the TRICARE military health care
program as administered by Humana.
In addition, Humana is proud to be a community partner in Ohio
by addressing social determinants of health through its Bold Goal
program. The Bold Goal is Humana’s population health strategy to
improve the health of people it serves, and Cincinnati is one of
Humana’s official Bold Goal communities.
