COVID-19 Update for External Sales Partners  

As part of our preparation for the impact of coronavirus, we are sharing an overview of our plans and guidance as it relates to our third party relationships, which are a critical piece of our operations and help us provide care to our members every day. If you have any questions, please reach out to your relationship manager at Humana.

Humana Preparedness

As the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to circulate around the world, Humana is being mindful of all we can do to stay safe and healthy and minimize potential disruption to our ability to care for members. Humana is focused on safety and mobility of our associates and the continuity of our operations, especially in areas related to accessing pharmaceutical products and medical supplies. We have enterprise cross-functional teams working together to identify and manage risks, including outreach to our third parties to ensure their plans for this situation complement ours. We’re also coordinating with public health authorities and are ready, with contingency plans in place, should the virus continue to spread.
Humana has trained a specialized group of call center employees to help support members with specific coronavirus questions and concerns, including live assistance with telemedicine. Members can call Humana’s toll-free customer support line, which can be found on the back of their member I.D. card, to be connected to this dedicated team of professionals.
