What's New

Here are our newest tools and resources available to our Providers.

A New and More Detailed Look for Member Eligibility & Benefit Information

On July 11, 2008, Humana will implement changes to the Eligibility & Benefits screens in preparation to apply for Committee on Operating Rules for Information Exchange (CORE) certification. For Humana, the CORE Phase I has streamlined the way eligibility and benefits, as well as other health care administrative information, is exchanged electronically. This means Humana has improved the way providers and members view eligibility and benefits information on Humana.com.

CORE is an initiative created by CAQH, a nonprofit alliance of health plans, networks, and trade associations working to simplify healthcare administration.
