HSA Plans at a Glance:

Humana offers numerous HSA compatible plans, allowing you to pick a plan that perfectly suites your needs. There are plans that cover you at 100% after your deductible, as well as plans with a more traditional co-payment after meeting your deductible. The most comprehensive coverage is the HumanaOne Enhanced HSA, which covers you at 100% after meeting your deductible, including prescription drugs.

Here is a quick comparison of these three plans. This is a general overview of plan features. The policy contains the actual terms and conditions. Waiting periods, limitations and exclusions apply.

*Deductibles listed are for individuals, family deductibles are doubled
**Subject to $500 per year maximum per person
***Up to $2500 maximum; outpatient services limited to $500 of 2500

*Deductibles listed are for individuals, family deductible is three times those listed
**Maximums listed are for individuals, family maximum is doubled
***Up to $2500 maximum; outpatient services limited to $500 of 2500
****$5000 out-of-pocket maximum

Non-HSA Plans

Humana also offers health insurance that is not compatible with Health Savings Accounts. While we always recommend our clients take advantage of the savings opportunities provided by HSAs, we are more than happy to assist you in finding a non-HSA plan should you desire.

*Deductibles listed are for individuals, family deductible is three times those listed
**Subject to $500 per year maximum per person
***Up to $2500 maximum; outpatient services limited to $500 of 2500
****$5000 out-of-pocket maximum

Rate Information:

Rates for all three Humana HSA plans are available on our instant quote page.

Rates vary based on age, zip code of residence, and other factors. Humana are very competitive, particularly for their higher deductible plans. When running your quote, please note that rates are often lower when placing the younger spouse as primary insured.

The premium can be paid via monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual billing, or a monthly bank draft. There is a $10 fee for quarterly and monthly billing. The bank draft will occur on the premium due date each month. The initial premium can be paid with a check or credit card.

PPO Networks

Humana utilizes the ChoiceCare network. Insureds can use Humana doctors throughout the United States. View the complete ChoiceCare PPO Network (check the HumanaOne and Member radio buttons, enter your zip code and click Go. Then select the Humana/ChoiceCare PPO Network and click Go).

Humana's ChoiceCare Network includes more than 320,000 physicians and ancillary care providers in 50 states and the District of Columbia, serving 1.3 million PPO members.

The Humana plans are portable, so you can move throughout the country without having to change insurance companies, and still have access to their large network.

Underwriting

The Humana Health Insurance underwriting process is usually extremely fast. Someone from their underwriting department will call you to do a telephone interview. Often times you can be given a conditional approval during the telephone interview, if no medical records are needed. If medical records are needed, Humana issues a decision within 48 hours after receipt of records.

One important aspect of Humana's underwriting process is that it is done up-front only, when the application is submitted. Many insurance companies will underwrite again when a claim is submitted, and may retroactively place a waiver on a plan if a claim occurs in the first 12 months and they determine that it was a pre-existing condition. With Humana, if you do not receive a rate up or rider when you receive the policy, they cover the condition based on the plans benefits, and do not re-underwrite.

Underwriting guidelines appear to be more lenient for plans with deductibles of $2,500 or higher.

By the way, Humana has a history of paying claims quickly and currently pays 92% of all claims in 8 days or less.

Effective dates

If you currently have or have recently had coverage, you can request an effective date any time between the day you apply and 45 days later. If an underwriter gives you conditional approval, your health insurance coverage can go into effect immediately. If you have not had major medical health insurance within the past two months, you will have the choice of an effective date of 30 to 45 days after the application submission date. Coverage for sickness has a 15 day waiting period.
