The certifications allow Humana to join others in standardizing the information insurers send to providers. NCQA standards are intended to help organizations achieve the highest level of performance possible, reduce patient risk and create an environment of continuous improvement.
As Humana continue doing its best to give care to its members, they have been recognized and received awards for products, services, and responsible business practices. Many of their awards acknowledge their commitment to providing guidance consumers can use to make healthcare and health benefits decisions confidently. Humana believes everyone should have access to the tools and support needed for a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. The health of their business is linked to the health of their employees, members, and patients, the communities they serve, the healthcare system, and the environment. Their commitment to improving health outcomes for all is the foundation of their Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) impact platform.
The focus of Humana is on supporting total health with benefits and extras designed to help members live their best life. It’s not just healthcare—it’s human to care. They have the Medicare Advantage Plan, sometimes called an all-in-one package for Original Medicare services. Some Medicare Advantage plans also offer benefits that aren’t available with Original Medicare, such as routine vision, hearing, and dental care. The Dental Insurance they offer for Individuals and Families is from budget-friendly monthly premiums to low office-visit copays. Humana has a dental plan that will fit everyone’s needs and has no waiting period. They ranked number 1 on J.D. Power for Customer Satisfaction with Dental Plans.
Another insurance that Humana offers is the Vision Insurance plan. It helps protect the eye health and ensures members have access to the eyeglasses or contacts they rely on. While many health insurance plans include some vision benefits, they rarely cover everyday essentials like glasses, contacts, or even routine eye exams. Still, in Humana, they all cover those essentials for the member’s benefit. They believe that it is the true essence of human care.
