Humana says its group dental, vision, life and disability plans continue, separate from the medical exit.
Humana’s group benefits page describes dental, vision, life and disability plans for employers. Humana is exiting employer group commercial medical, so this page does not describe a medical or disease management offering.
What the program is and what members do.
What the page describes
Humana says its group dental, vision, life and disability plans offer personalized service, large networks and modern benefits that serve a broad range of member needs. The page text is limited to those four lines of coverage.
What it does not describe
The main text does not describe a group medical plan or a disease management program. Medical appears only in legal disclosures, by the name of a Humana entity. Humana has separately said it is exiting employer group commercial medical.
How it is positioned
Humana says it has offered group benefits to companies of all sizes for over 50 years. It presents the plans as a way to attract and retain talent while keeping employees healthy, happy and productive.
Eligibility, funding and plan design.
Who can use it
The carrier says the plans are for companies of all sizes and their employees. The page speaks to both employers and brokers. It does not state any group size minimum in the text we reviewed, so employers should confirm eligibility for their group.
How it is funded or sold
Humana points visitors to sign in to an account or contact a broker. That is how the carrier says these plans are sold. It gives no pricing on the page.
Where it fits in plan design
Dental, vision, life and disability are ancillary lines that sit beside a medical plan. If medical moves to another carrier, an employer can ask whether these lines stay in place or are better bundled with the new medical carrier. That is a plan design question for the broker.
What to settle before relying on it.
Do these plans stay if our medical moves?
Humana says other offerings are not materially affected by the medical exit, but each contract has its own terms. We would ask Humana to confirm in writing that group dental, vision, life and disability continue on the current terms.
Are there any dependencies on medical?
Some carriers tie ancillary pricing or eligibility to a medical plan. We would ask Humana whether any discount or participation rule on these lines depends on the group keeping Humana medical.
What happens at our next renewal?
We would ask for the renewal timeline and rate guarantee for each line, and whether Humana plans any changes to networks or plan designs for these products.

No. The page text is limited to dental, vision, life and disability. Humana has announced it is exiting employer group commercial medical.
Who should an employer contact?
