Co-Pay Waiver Extension for Individual, Group Medicare, MA, and MAPD
This morning, Humana issued a Press Release regarding important changes impacting members. Specifically, effective May 1, 2020, Humana is waiving Medicare Advantage out-of-pocket costs – copays, coinsurance and deductibles – for primary care, behavioral health (on an outpatient, non-facility basis) and telehealth visits with participating/in-network providers through the end of 2020. These changes are part of Humana’s Human Care approach to making the healthcare experience better, more personal and more caring by enhancing members’ access to care without a further financial burden.
What is Next?
