Read full reviewWhat is Humana Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Humana’s Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap, helps pay for 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 Part B 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.
- Humana’s Medicare Supplement Insurance: Medicare supplemental 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 its 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 your Medicare or any supplemental plan without prescription drug coverage.
Humana Medicare Supplement Insurance plans
Humana’s supplemental insurance is available under Plans A, B, C, F, 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. Your specific coverage varies by the plan you select. Explore the plans below to better understand what each offers.

Humana has worse transportation company Motive care. They schedule a trip to hospital, confirm it, and then do not show up. They find all possible excuses not to provide transportation. I have reported it to Humana but they did not change the transportation Company.
Over the past few years the required transportation to or from a hospital or doctor's office did not materialize. I've had to postpone or cancel two surgeries, appointments, ... The reason? "We DON'T HAVE ANY DRIVERS IN YOUR AREA. UNTIL A PASSENGER IS BEING DELIVERED TO YOUR AREA, NO RIDE WILL BE AVAILABLE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE." Yellow Cab also once did the same. At doctors' offices and hospitals they will call their own services "because the rides won't ignore us." Other than that, and the problems with CenterWell, Humana has done very well for me.

86 YO female sister with severe COPD developed pneumonia and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. After she no longer needed IV antibiotics or acute care, she was transferred to a Rehab Facility. She was unable to get out of bed alone, get to the bathroom alone, much less take care of her other needs. She was on oxygen 4L/min and had zero strength or stamina. She needed Physical Therapy in a big way for reconditioning as well as help with all other needs: bathing, dressing etc. Her Humana Advantage Plan denied her claim after only two days, this was appealed with much effort and time. They then gave her 5 more days.
The second appeal was denied and there was no other way to appeal. They just stopped paying! No physician that had examined her made this decision, only a physician employed by Humana! PLEASE, PLEASE NEVER hand over your Medicare Benefits to a managed care company. They pay for small things like office visits, medications etc. to suck you in but are famous, in the industry, for denying in patient care so desperately needed/indicated after a severe illness or injury. You are never aware of this until you need it.
Humana was acceptable in the past but lately they are intolerable. They pay less and charge more. Higher deductible and now they even to refuse to pay their portion of drugs they have paid for in the past. They won’t even accept my doctor sending them information on why I can’t take another drug on their preferred list. They even tried to get my doctor to prescribe a drug not FDA approved for my condition. They reject appeals for no reason. This behavior smacks of profit oriented vs. customer care. When open enrollment comes around, they are history. Avoid these guys!
Humana Pharmacy is discriminating as where I can refill my prescription. All of a sudden, they doubled my copay at my local pharmacy for one of my prescriptions and if I agree to order it through Humana Pharmacy online, it’s 0 co-pay. I’m 79 years old and have been filling my prescriptions at my local Costco Pharmacy lately. Previously, I used Walgreens and CVS locally. Just my preference!
This insurance was referred by Medicare Helpline. Thought I had fully vetted but the day it kicked in I lost the ability to go to any of my Doctors or continue with treatment because the hospital I was being treated at was not in network. So for three months I went without care since I could not afford to pay the cost for out of network services. I would not recommend Humana ever. I did go to one appointment as I could not wait and I am still getting bills in the mail for that appointment from 2021.
I was told to go ahead and set up my online account, check around, look for physicians, etc. as soon as I received my paperwork. Coverage wouldn't begin until after my start date, but I could set up the online account. So when it came, that's exactly what I did. I was able to set up and go in and out of my account. I wasn't able to search for doctors or something else I can't remember what it was, but I was able to set up and get into my online account. Once the effective date came and passed, I couldn't access my online account any longer.
When I went to sign on then, like so many sites these days they have these games they play where you have to sign in and out of other accounts to prove who you are. Why even have passwords if you don't believe the person signing in is who they are? I played and kept entering what they sent me, checked and rechecked before entering, but it never worked. Then they locked my account. I have not been able to get into my online account.
I have tried almost every day to get into my account. Won't let me in. Since companies want to handle everything online these days, having Humana is worthless to me now. Unlike many people, I don't have to use Humana. If they don't fix the situation, I will muddle through until I can go to a new company (with a working website). I've heard, (can't verify) calling Humana is a huge waste of time, so if I have to make a call it will be to the new company.
My Mother required Home Health Care when I pulled her out of a Rehab Center with very bad bed sores. My PC Doc and I requested Home Health Care assistance from Humana (included with insurance) and was told that they had no one who could assist in our area.. What a JOKE!!! I was able to nurse Mother back to health and IMMEDIATELY cancelled my policy with Humana !! I probably should have sued them. AVOID HUMANA - THEY ARE PITIFUL!!
I filed (by snail mail) an out-of-network claim for emergency dental work as instructed by Humana Customer Service. Time passed. No contact, no check from Humana. A status check showed no information on the claim on file. A call back to the CS Representative suggested I send a fax, which I did in May. It's mid-June. Humana still has not registered my claim. Tried to follow up with so-called website "chat" but it doesn't function. This company is a sick joke. Dysfunctional Humana is excellent in giving a run-around. Guess their trash can must be full of discarded customer claims. Use these guys at your peril.
We are writing this Commendation Letter to appreciate Humana Sales Representative Jessica **, for her help to solve our family problems. For several years we had been choosing Humana Medicare Advantage Plan as Supplemental insurance. Everything was quite good until we run into the problems with some coverage. We contacted our Agent Jessica ** without any hope that she will be able or willing to help. However, to our great surprise, Jessica immediately responded to our call. She had determined that the the Company serviced us had made mistakes in their claims sent to Humana.
Jessica contacted to that Company and explained them their mistakes. Even when she was sick with Covid 19 she continued taking intense measures to bring our family problems to the successful solution. Employees like Jessica ** make a big positive efforts to improve the image of Humana and to consequently attract more customers. She is not just regular employee. She goes extra mile to help and satisfy the customers. Thank you very much, Jessica!
