Humana has announced the launch of a new Medicare Advantage PPO plan in 37 rural North Carolina counties, in response to market demand in the state’s eastern region. The move, according to Humana North Carolina Medicare Vice President Kathleen Schwarzwalder, is a response to the limited health plan options available to Medicare-eligible individuals in rural North Carolina. She claims that the plan focuses on whole-person healthcare, including dentistry, hearing, and vision, and offers access to all major hospital systems, including telehealth-enabled virtual medical visits, making it easier for rural populations to seek out and get care.
