Baptist Health Medical Group (BHMG) and Humana, KPPA’s Medicare
Advantage provider, were unable to reach an agreement on a new contract before
the September 22, 2023 deadline. This means BHMG doctors and advanced practice
clinicians are now considered out-of-network for Humana Medicare Advantage (MA)
plans. Baptist Health hospitals are unaffected and remain in-network for
Humana.
Regardless of the outcome, the in-network and out-of-network benefits and out
of pocket costs are the same, meaning costs should NOT increase for KPPA
members whose BHMG doctor or clinician accepts Medicare.
If you have questions about coverage, charges, or anything MA insurance-related, call Humana at the phone number on the back of your MA insurance card.
KPPA will provide additional information as it becomes available.
