Humana

Humana Inc. is a prominent American health and well-being company based in Louisville, Kentucky. Founded in 1961, it originally operated as a nursing home provider before evolving into the largest hospital company in the U.S. by the late 1970s. In 1984, Humana began offering health insurance plans, which led to a focus on health insurance and benefits after spinning off its hospital division in 1993. Humana specializes in Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans, and government-sponsored health programs, serving nearly 6 million individuals as of early 2024. The company also provides home health care services through its acquisition of Kindred at Home, wellness and care coordination programs, and military healthcare services via Humana Military Healthcare Services. With a commitment to improving health outcomes, Humana emphasizes integrated care delivery, particularly for seniors and other populations. As of early 2024, Humana reported revenues of $106.4 billion and employs tens of thousands of people.
