About Humana
Humana is a $100 billion (Fortune 40) market leader in integrated healthcare with a clearly defined purpose to help people achieve lifelong well-being. As a company focused on the health of the people served, Humana is committed to advancing the employment experience and vitality of the associate community. Through offerings anchored in a whole-person view of human well-being, Humana embraces a focus on stimulating positive individual and population changes while nurturing a sense of security, enabling people to live life fully and be their most productive.
Humana is committed to putting health first-for its teammates, its customers, and its company. Through its insurance services and CenterWell healthcare services, Humana makes it easier for the millions of people served to achieve their best health, delivering the care and service they need, when they need it.
The result is a better quality of life-not only for people with Medicare and Medicaid but also for families, military service personnel, and communities at large.
Business Strategy
Humana's strategy is centered on providing a consumer-focused, integrated care experience that makes it easy for people to achieve their best health through outstanding clinical capabilities and through an experience that is simple and personalized. A key component of this strategy is Humana's Integrated Care Delivery model, which places customers at the center of everything it does, with a focus on helping them manage their health holistically.
Humana recognizes that health and lifestyle are intrinsically connected. By addressing social determinants of health and by removing difficult friction points for customers and their healthcare providers and caregivers, it can help people change unhealthy behaviors. Humana is a leader in adopting value-based payment models that reimburse for health outcomes, as opposed to services performed, which can improve health, boost quality, and control costs.
Finally, Humana is integrating systems and processes using the latest technology to create a simpler, better customer experience. The ultimate goal of this approach is to enable the best possible health and experience at an affordable cost.

* Within Medicaid, these members have claims costs over 7x of members without BH needs
