How Humana Behavioral Health Coverage Works
Humana provides health coverage through employer-sponsored plans, individual marketplace plans, and Humana Medicare Advantage — one of the largest Medicare Advantage programs in the United States. Behavioral health benefits under Humana plans are administered through Humana Behavioral Health, which manages prior authorization, utilization review, and care management for mental health and addiction treatment.
An important distinction for Georgia clients: Humana Military is a separate entity from Humana’s commercial health plans. Humana Military manages TRICARE benefits for the eastern United States under a federal government contract. If you have TRICARE coverage through Humana Military, please see our TRICARE insurance page. If you have a Humana commercial or Medicare Advantage plan, this page applies to you.
Humana Medicare Advantage plans — including Humana Gold Plus and Humana Gold Choice — may cover residential behavioral health treatment under their behavioral health benefit. Medicare Advantage plans must cover at least the same behavioral health services as traditional Medicare, and many Humana MA plans provide expanded behavioral health benefits beyond what traditional Medicare covers.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), Humana commercial plans are required to cover mental health and addiction treatment at the same level as comparable physical health care.
