Humana will begin enrolling new Healthy Connections Medicaid
members on July 1, 2021, followed by new Healthy Connections Prime
members beginning January 1, 2022. Healthy Connections Prime is an
expanded option for South Carolinians who have both Medicare and
Medicaid, operating under a joint demonstration contract between
the state and the federal government.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the South Carolina Department of
Health and Human Services, and being selected to serve South
Carolina Medicaid recipients means a great deal to all of us at
Humana,” said Natalia Aresu, Humana’s South Carolina Medicaid
Regional President. “As a company with a growing presence in the
state, our commitment to serve our members and improve health
across South Carolina is unyielding. We commend the state for
adding new coverage options to better support people receiving
coverage through the program.”
Humana has a strong and growing commitment to South Carolina,
serving 425,000 members in the state. In addition to entering the
state’s Healthy Connections Medicaid program, Humana currently
provides coordinated medical, wellness and pharmacy benefits
coverage to its Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan
members in South Carolina, as well as members of the military,
military retirees and their dependents, under Humana’s partnership
with the TRICARE program.
“From our emerging service to Medicaid beneficiaries in South
Carolina, to people with Medicare Advantage and military members
with TRICARE benefits, we’re excited about all of the ways we are
able to positively impact the health of people in this state,” said
John Barger, National President of Humana’s Medicaid business,
Humana Healthy Horizons. “It is truly our honor to serve the people
of South Carolina, particularly when COVID-19 is disproportionally
impacting people with Medicaid.”
