Your primary care provider (PCP) is your main doctor for checkups, screenings and non-emergency care, focusing on your whole health. As you age or develop chronic conditions, your value-based care PCP coordinates with specialists to keep your healthcare personal and proactive. At Humana, we believe this relationship is key to positive health outcomes.

It’s great to have a specialist you trust, but their focus is narrow. A PCP takes a holistic view of your whole health, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of conditions. The best part? Your PCP and specialists work together to support your best health.

Just as kids see pediatricians, older adults benefit from doctors like geriatricians, who specialize in care for aging bodies. They focus on your overall well-being, helping manage chronic conditions, medications and health goals.

Value-based care focuses on quality over quantity, paying doctors for patient outcomes rather than the number of visits or procedures to achieve:¹

1. Better individual care
2. Better population health
3. Lower costs

Humana’s Value-based Care Report shows members in these arrangements had the following compared to those in other plans:²

• Better medication adherence
• More screenings
• Fewer hospital stays
• Lower ER visits

With value-based care, your well-being comes first through a proactive, team-based approach that could lead to better health at a lower cost.

Becoming a Humana Medicare Advantage member is a simple way to gain access to value-based care providers in your area.

1. Reach out to a licensed Humana Medicare sales agent. There’s no cost to you to work with an agent and no obligation to enroll in a plan.
2. They will help you find the right plan for you and your needs and can also help you find value-based care providers who are conveniently located to you.

Original Medicare covers hospital and preventive care but has gaps in dental, vision, hearing, and drug coverage—and no cap on out-of-pocket costs. A Humana Medicare Advantage plan can fill those gaps, offering potential extra benefits like prescription drugs, dental, vision, hearing, fitness, and/or wellness support, plus access to a growing value-based care network. Benefits vary by plan and location. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer low or $0 premiums to stay competitive. You’ll still pay your Part B premium. Private insurers also set your deductible, coinsurance and copays. Reach out to a licensed Medicare sales agent to find the right Medicare Advantage plan for you. You can enroll during the Annual Election Period (AEP) which is October 15–December 7 annually or during a Special Election Period if you qualify for one.
