Humana Kentucky Medicare Advantage HMO Plan Scores Top 5-Star Rating Third Year in a Row

In latest CMS ratings, Humana has two 5-star contracts that cover portions of Kentucky

For the third consecutive year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded the highest possible quality rating to leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) for its northern Kentucky HMO plan offered in Boone, Campbell, Grant, Kenton and Pendleton counties. The Humana Health Plan of Ohio, Inc. HMO plan is one of four Humana contracts that received a 5-star rating for 2024 on CMS’s 5-star rating system.

Another one of Humana’s four top-rated contracts received the 5-star rating for the first time, adding a new Kentucky county to the list; the Humana Medical Plan Inc. HMO plan is offered in Jefferson County. Combined, the four 5-star contracts cover approximately 790,000 Humana members nationwide, more than double the number of members in 5-star plans in 2023.

“We are thrilled to report this repeat achievement and so proud of the Kentucky team that works so hard to deliver the highest-rated member experience,” said Humana’s Medicare President for Kentucky Eric Bohannon. “This top rating reflects our close clinical collaboration with our value-based providers and the quality health care they bring to our Kentucky members.”

Vice President of Managed Care for St. Elizabeth Healthcare in northern Kentucky Bill Banks said, “We’re proud to partner with Humana to deliver high quality care to its members. The Humana team shares our mission of focusing on value-based care that delivers the best results for our patients.”

Kentucky Medicare Advantage member Nancy R. says she values Humana’s whole-person approach to caring for its members.

“I appreciate how Humana really wants us to be the healthiest version of ourselves and provides us with resources to accomplish that,” Nancy said.
