Humana’s Medicare Expansion Plans 2017

Humana is a nationally recognized company that offers an array of Medicare health insurance plans, as well as health and wellness services.

With the newly added benefits and plan expansions across 6 regions, Humana has added more great reasons to get certified to sell Humana’s Medicare plans! Another reason to get contracted and certified with Humana is agent support. They are a huge advocate for the independent agents. When it comes to resources, support, training, Humana has it all. In selling Medicare Advantage, agents have a lot of work when it comes to prospecting and maintaining compliance. With Humana, no agent works alone. Get contracted and certified with a carrier that respects and cares for their agents.
