Humana Medicare Supplement review
Humana’s Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap, helps pay healthcare costs that aren’t covered under Medicare Parts A and B. To qualify, you must be at least 65 years of age, be enrolled in Medicare and live in a state where Humana offers the coverage you want. You can easily find what coverage is available in your area by doing a ZIP code search on the Humana website.
Humana offers three types of plans for seniors in need of coverage. They can be purchased together or separately.
- Humana’s Medicare Supplement Insurance: Supplemental Medicare insurance exists to cover healthcare costs not paid for under Medicare Parts A and B. This can include items like deductibles, coinsurance and hospice care.
- Medicare Advantage plans: Humana designed their Medicare Advantage plans as an alternative to government-offered Medicare. These plans cover what’s included in Medicare Parts A and B but also provide additional coverage, such as prescriptions, dental and vision.
- Humana’s Medicare Part D prescription drug plans (PDP): PDPs help cover the cost of prescription drugs, which can be astronomical for seniors on Medicare and a financial strain for those on limited incomes, such as Social Security. A PDP plan can be purchased as a stand-alone plan to help supplement Medicare and/or any supplemental plan you have.
Humana Medicare Supplement plans
Humana’s supplemental insurance is available under Plans A, B, C, G, K, L and N. A high deductible Plan F is also available. Supplemental insurance coverage may help lower the cost of coinsurance and deductibles and cover special care or tests, including blood draws and skilled nursing facilities. Some plans even provide emergency travel insurance. Generally, Medicare Supplement Insurance does not cover items like vision, dental care, hearing care, private nursing, long-term care or prescription drugs.

2 Humana Medicare Supplement Insurance Consumer Reviews

Several doctors will not see you if you have Humana. So I dropped the medical and kept the prescription plan. Big mistake! The representative I talked to agreed that because I dropped medical, they were going to “screw” me on my prescription costs. Gotta give it to her, at least she didn’t lie like the other representatives. If I could, I would rate Humana a minus ten!!!
Humana is continues to write for additional/supplemental insurance. I have sent them in writing on their form all the information I have which is rather complete. However, every month they write again for the same information on the same form. I likewise have called their Customer Service and have been advised no problem. The doctor's office advised this is very characteristic of Humana and I'm not the only one that experiences this type of inconvenience. For the person looking for Medicare Supplemental Insurance, I would highly consider the slow payment of claims as you may have to pay out of your pocket as the doctor certainly would like their payment in the current year.
