Humana is adding a new statewide D-SNP Medicare
Advantage plan and a $0 premium PPO MA plan in 38 Central Tennessee
counties; enhancing its statewide Humana Honor offering; and
including COVID-19 coverage on all MA plans
Leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM)
today announced another major expansion of its Medicare Advantage
(MA) offerings across Tennessee for the 2022 plan year. It’s part
of the company’s strategy to increase affordable Medicare health
plan options that address the whole person health care needs of
Tennesseans.
In addition, for all Humana 2022 MA plan members with a COVID
diagnosis, there is $0 copay for testing, treatment, vaccinations
and 14 days of home-delivered meals (up to 28 meals).
New for 2022
For 2022, Humana is introducing a new statewide Dual Eligible
Special Needs Medicare Advantage (D-SNP) plan for people eligible
for both Medicare and Medicaid. The new plan, available in all
counties, includes a $75 monthly Healthy Foods Card and a $100
quarterly over-the-counter (OTC) allowance. The company will
continue to offer its existing statewide D-SNP plan that includes a
$35 monthly Healthy Foods Card and a $350 quarterly OTC
allowance.
“The pandemic has magnified the needs of so many in our
community, and we definitely took those needs into account when
designing our Medicare plans and benefits,” said Doug Haaland,
Humana Medicare President for Tennessee and Alabama. “We know that
having access to healthy foods and needed over-the-counter items
means that our neediest members are not having to make the choice
of food over medicine or seeing a doctor.”
Humana is also introducing a $0 Premium PPO in 38 counties in
Central Tennessee. The 38 counties include: Bedford, Benton,
Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Decatur, Dickson,
Giles, Hardin, Henry, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Jackson,
Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery,
Overton, Perry, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner,
Trousdale, Van Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, and
Wilson.
These Medicare Advantage plan options will be available during
this year’s Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual
Election Period – or AEP - which runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7,
2021, for plan coverage taking effect Jan. 1, 2022.
Enhanced Humana Honor Plans
The Humana Honor plan, introduced statewide in Tennessee in
2021, is being enhanced to include two plan choices, featuring plan
benefits such as Part B premium reductions of $50 or $75, quarterly
OTC allowances of $100 or $300 and increased dental benefits.
While Humana Honor plans are an option for all people eligible
for Medicare, these plans are designed to complement VA health care
coverage by covering health care services at non-VA (civilian)
facilities and including robust dental coverage. Because some
veterans may prefer prescription drug coverage through their VA
benefits, the Humana Honor Plan does not include prescription drug
coverage. Veterans can choose from any of the Medicare
Advantage plan options in their area.
For 2022, Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans, including Humana
Honor plans, all are recommended by USAA, a company known for its
customer satisfaction and commitment to the financial security of
current and former members of the U.S. military and their
families.
Most Humana Medicare Advantage plans also include:
- SilverSneakers, which provides memberships at participating
fitness centers, and access to classes designed with the Medicare
beneficiary in mind.
- Go365TM, a wellness and rewards program designed to motivate
and reward members for taking steps toward healthy behaviors, like
receiving recommended wellness screenings, flu shots, and other
healthy activities.
- Humana Well Dine®, which provides nutritious meals to eligible
Medicare members recovering from an inpatient stay in a hospital or
skilled nursing facility.
