Top Discounts You're Missing on Humana
Humana Medicare Advantage plans advertise $0 premiums and $0 copays for primary care, but the real costs show up in places you might not expect. Here is where to look.
Humana's Medicare Advantage plans are among the most popular in the country, with 76 percent of MA enrollees nationally paying $0 in monthly plan premiums. But a $0 premium does not mean zero cost. Humana plans include copays for specialist visits, emergency room charges, advanced imaging, and inpatient hospital stays that can add up quickly. A single overnight hospital stay on a Humana PPO plan can carry a $600-per-day copay for the first three days, and an emergency room visit typically costs a $130 copay — even before you reach your out-of-pocket maximum.
