What Humana offers

Humana is part of Humana Inc., and for 2027 it filed 822 Medicare Advantage plans with Medicare, which makes it one of the largest sellers in the program. Its plans are sold in 45 states and Washington, D.C., and the exact plans on offer change from one county to the next.

The company sells these kinds of plans:

• PPO plans (405)
• HMO plans (330)
• HMO-POS plans (51)
• Regional PPO plans (29)
• PFFS plans (7)

Most of its plans are PPO plans, which let you see doctors outside the plan's network in many cases, although you pay more when you do. Its next largest group is HMO plans, where you choose a main doctor and most of your care stays inside the network.

It also sells 222 special needs plans, which are plans built for people in a set group, such as people who have both Medicare and Medicaid or people living with a long-term health condition that needs steady care.

What its plans cost

Of the 822 plans, 576 charge no monthly premium at all, although you still pay your Part B premium each month, just as you would with any Medicare Advantage plan.

A $0 premium does not mean $0 care, because each plan has its own copays and its own yearly limit on what you pay out of pocket for covered care. Those numbers change from plan to plan, and the plan pages in this section show the exact numbers for each plan, straight from Medicare's own files.

Star ratings

Medicare rates each contract from 1 to 5 stars, and Humana contracts run from 3.0 to 4.5 stars for 2027, because the rating belongs to the contract and not to the brand as a whole. Two plans with the same company name can sit under contracts with very different ratings, so check the star rating on the plan page and not just the company name.

How to shop this company

Start with your county, because Medicare Advantage plans are sold by county and the plan a friend has in one state may not exist in yours, or may cost more where you live. Then check three things before you decide: your doctors are in the plan's network, your drugs are on the plan's drug list, and the yearly cost limit fits your budget.

Some care needs approval before the plan will pay for it, so read how approval for home health works in a Medicare Advantage plan before you count on care at home. If you ever need hospice care, Medicare covers hospice under Part A in every plan — see what Medicare hospice covers, in the hospice guide.

Medicare's file does not give the year this company first sold Medicare plans, so this page states no start year rather than guessing one.

For help with a plan from this company, start with Medicare.gov: its Plan Finder lists this company's plans for your ZIP code, and each plan's page there links to the plan's own Summary of Benefits and to the company's official Medicare pages, which carry its member phone number and hours. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE at any hour. This page does not copy a phone number from an ad or a sales page.

Who this company may fit: many of its plans charge no monthly premium, so it may fit people who watch the monthly cost first; it sells special needs plans, so it may fit people who qualify for one of those plans.

You can join most Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 during the yearly enrollment period, October 15 to December 7, 2026. If you already have a Medicare Advantage plan, you can switch plans or go back to Original Medicare from January 1 to March 31. A move or another big life change can open a special window of its own. To join, use Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or talk with a licensed insurance agent. Care and Living Guide does not sell or enroll anyone in a plan.
