Humana Health Insurance Plans and Coverage Levels

Humana is a Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO, and PFFS organization.⁴ It also serves as a stand-alone prescription drug plan contracting with Medicare.⁴ Humana’s HMO, PPO, and PFFS are defined below:⁵

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): In an HMO, you must stay within a given network of providers to be covered by insurance. Your primary care doctor will help you manage services by providing referrals to specialists that are within the network. This plan usually has a lower out-of-pocket cost.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): This type of plan offers a larger network of doctors and specialists from which to choose. You can go in- or out-of-network without a referral for services. This plan may have higher deductible costs.
Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS):⁶ A Medicare PFFS plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan (Part C) provided by a private insurance company. This type of plan determines how much payment goes to the doctors, healthcare providers, and hospitals and what your out-of-pocket costs will be.

If you’ve served or are serving in the military, Humana Military may be an ideal insurance plan for you.⁷ This plan covers military service members and their families. It is in partnership with the Department of Defense and administers TRICARE health programs.⁷

Humana also has a special needs insurance plan, which is Humana SNP. This plan works with a large network of providers and is similar to an HMO. You will have a primary care doctor to help you manage your care.⁸

Does Humana Cover Inpatient and Outpatient Alcohol Rehab?

With the passing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), coverage for addiction treatment is now required for all providers.¹⁰ While both inpatient and outpatient services may be covered by Humana, you’ll want to speak with your provider to learn about the specifics.

Regardless of setting, treatment is more likely to be covered when seeking care at an approved facility or program. Often, insurance companies approve programs that have been through a review process and are determined effective and eligible. Rehab programs that offer evidence-based treatments are more likely to be approved, so be sure to check with your insurance provider or the rehab facility directly whether you will be covered.

The amount covered can vary depending on the type of plan you have, so you may still have some out-of-pocket costs.
