Plan Overview
Humana offers a comprehensive range of health insurance plans designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families. Our plans vary in coverage, premiums, and deductibles, providing options tailored to different budgets and healthcare requirements.
Types of Humana Health Insurance Plans
Humana offers several types of health insurance plans, including:
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): HMO plans offer comprehensive coverage within a specific network of providers. They typically have lower premiums and deductibles but may restrict access to out-of-network care.
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): PPO plans provide more flexibility in choosing providers, both within and outside the network. Premiums and deductibles are generally higher than HMO plans, but there is greater freedom in selecting healthcare professionals.
- Point-of-Service (POS): POS plans combine features of HMO and PPO plans. They offer a network of providers but also allow members to access out-of-network care with higher costs.
- Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO): EPO plans are similar to HMO plans, but they have a narrower network of providers. Premiums are typically lower than HMO plans, but access to care may be more limited.
