Humana’s plans are tailored to meet the varying needs of Medicare beneficiaries, providing them with affordable options during the upcoming Medicare Advantage Annual Election Period (AEP) Oct. 15-Dec. 7. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can review changes to their current plan and determine if the plan still meets their needs for the next year.

“Our members want benefits that work for their lives, which is why we don’t view Medicare Advantage as a one-size-fits-all option,” said George Renaudin, Humana’s President of Medicare and Medicaid. “Our members have told us what benefits really matter to them. We listened and created affordable health plans that offer high-quality care and align with what they want and need.”

Based on member feedback, Humana is including coverage for new glasses every year in every plan with a vision benefit. Humana also is offering plans with comprehensive dental coverage that includes deep cleanings, fillings and crowns in nearly every county it serves.

Humana has a total of 793 individual Medicare Advantage plans throughout the country for 2025, offering people the ability to choose a plan that fits their budget and lifestyle. Highlights include:

• Flexibility to choose a doctor that is in or out of network – at the same cost. Humana Full Access PPO plans offer the freedom to see any doctor that accepts Medicare – at the same copay, no matter if the doctor is in or out of network, and without a referral. These plans may include dental, vision and hearing coverage. Because of the popularity of the plans, Humana is expanding access with availability in 20 states in 2025.

• Money back in the member’s Social Security check every month. The $0 LPPO MAPD Giveback plans, available in 35 states, include prescription drug coverage and allow members to see any provider who accepts Medicare – including specialists – without a referral. The Part B Giveback benefit helps reduce their Part B premium every month.

• Medicare Advantage plans designed with veterans in mind. The Humana USAA Honor Giveback plans, available to anyone eligible for Medicare, were co-created by Humana’s experts in Medicare Advantage and USAA’s experts in veteran needs. They offer a $0 monthly plan premium; a Part B giveback; flexibility in care options; and medical, dental, vision and hearing coverage that works alongside Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare benefits. Humana also offers a veteran-specific customer care line (888-HUM-VETS) with a specially trained team to help members who are veterans navigate access to plan benefits.

• Plans designed for individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Humana offers Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) to simplify healthcare for people who are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. These plans include dental benefits, care manager support and prescription drug coverage. Humana’s D-SNPs may also include vision or hearing benefits and a monthly Healthy Options Allowance to help pay for essentials, like eligible groceries, rent, utility bills and more. This allowance includes rollover, so any unused balance carries over each month.

• Plans specifically for people who need extra support due to a chronic or disabling condition. Humana’s Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNP) are designed for individuals who have a qualifying condition, including diabetes, chronic heart failure, cardiovascular disorders and COPD. All Humana C-SNPs include hearing, vision and prescription drug coverage as well as care manager support.

• Plans for Medicare beneficiaries living in long-term care facilities. Humana’s Institutional Special Needs Plans (I-SNP) serve members who reside in skilled nursing facilities. In partnership with Longevity Health, Humana’s I-SNPs are available in 13 states and include dental, vision and hearing benefits, transportation to and from eligible medical appointments, care manager support and more. New in 2025, these plans also include music therapy sessions designed by a certified music therapist for eligible members with chronic conditions to increase engagement and reduce anxiety.

All plans that provide coverage for prescription drugs, whether it’s part of a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan or a stand-alone Part D Prescription Drug Plan, will see some benefit enhancements in 2025 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Members with Part D coverage will now have a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket drug costs, and they will no longer have a coverage gap (donut hole) phase – simplifying payments and making prescription drug costs more predictable and affordable.

Humana’s stand-alone Part D Prescription Drug Plans are designed for individuals who enroll in Original Medicare and need medications covered. Updates to Humana Prescription Drug Plan benefits for 2025 include:

• Humana Value Rx. Designed for consumers who prioritize low generic cost shares along with robust coverage at an affordable price. It includes:
  • $0 Tier 1 and Tier 2 copays at preferred pharmacies
  • $0 deductible for Tier 1 and Tier 2 medications
  • Elimination of the coverage gap (donut hole)
  • $2,000 annual maximum out-of-pocket costs

• Humana Premier Rx. Designed for consumers seeking broad drug coverage and peace of mind. It includes:
  • $0 deductible
  • $0 Tier 1 copays at preferred retail pharmacies
  • $0 Tier 1 and Tier 2 copays at mail-order pharmacies, like CenterWell Pharmacy (home delivery), for a 3-month supply
  • Elimination of the coverage gap (donut hole)
  • $2,000 annual maximum out-of-pocket costs

In 2025, Humana will have Medicare Advantage plan offerings in 48 states, plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, covering 89% of U.S. counties.

In total, Humana is expanding its Medicare HMO offerings into 12 new counties and its Medicare Advantage LPPO plans in 17 new counties. The following plans will be available in new states for the first time:
