The company will instead focus on government-funded programs\u2014such as Medicare, Medicaid and military\u2014and specialty businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employer-sponsored health insurance is a common way for Americans to get coverage, but such plans accounted for less than 6% of Humana\u2019s total membership at the end of 2022. Humana revealed that the Employer Group Commercial Medical Products business could no longer sustainably meet the needs of commercial members nor support the company\u2019s other long-term strategies. The employer insurance business includes fully insured health insurance plans purchased by employers and employer-sponsored health plans run by Humana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThis decision enables Humana to focus resources on our greatest opportunities for growth and where we can deliver industry-leading value for our members and customers. \u2026 We are confident in Humana\u2019s continued success, and our commitment to improving the health of those we serve is unwavering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce D.
