Humana Finds That 20% of Medicare Advantage Expenditures Are For Services That Could Be Delivered Via In-Home Care
About 20% of Humana’s Medicare Advantage expenditures in 2020 were for routine or acute services that could be delivered at lower cost during a house call. The estimate is based on an internal Humana analysis of data from 2020. These services that could be handled during an in-home house call are a mix of primary care and urgent care, including preventive services, care coordination, care management, and assessments.
To expand access to in-home services for its Medicare Advantage members, Humana has entered partnerships with Dispatch Health and Heal, which both offer primary and urgent care home-based . . .
