Help for members, employees, brokers, employer
clients and the community at large includes expanding access to
crisis hotline and free counseling
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health
benefits companies, announced today that it has launched a series
of disaster relief efforts assisting its employees, members and
communities impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
The full scope of damage from Harvey is still unfolding as the
storm leaves unprecedented flooding in the state of Texas. As much
as 50 inches of rain are forecast for some areas.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster for
50 counties in Texas, while President Donald Trump announced Friday
a major disaster proclamation for Texas granting the state federal
aid.
“We know many of our employees, our health plan members,
our Provider partners, our brokers and employer clients across
Texas have been severely impacted by the storm and are in need
of our assistance and support,” said Dan Tufto, Regional President
of Senior Products for Humana of Texas. “We are particularly
concerned about the health and well-being of our members and want
them to know we are committed to providing uninterrupted coverage
and services at this critical time."
Humana has opened its toll-free crisis intervention hotline and
counseling services beyond employees and members to
include any individual who may need assistance in those Texas
communities which have been impacted by Harvey.
Counselors and work/life specialists are available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week at 1-866-440-6556 to provide free,
confidential assistance to anyone needing help and support in
coping with the disaster and its aftermath.
“Devastating storms like this can have a serious effect on the
well-being of those trying to cope with the aftermath, which is why
we’re encouraging not only our members and employees, but the
community at large, to call our free and confidential crisis
intervention hotline and speak to one of our counselors,” said
Tufto.
Humana Medicare, commercial and individual members with
questions about services available to them should call the
toll-free phone number on the back of their Humana ID card.
