Company Report

Humana's Mispriced Plans Cut Into Fair Value Estimate and Capital Allocation Rating

Humana is a top-tier medical insurer and pays U.S. caregivers to provide services through an integrated and value-based approach while also making the insurance experience easy to navigate for end users. Perhaps not surprisingly, given its founding as a nursing home in the 1960s, Humana places a special focus on serving elderly people, especially in its top-tier position in Medicare Advantage plans. Given U.S. demographic trends and the increasing penetration of Medicare Advantage plans in the eligible population, Humana remains at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing areas in U.S. medical insurance.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

With its prowess in Medicare Advantage plans, Humana looks likely to benefit from strong demographic trends and increasing popularity of that program in the long run.

Bears

Healthcare policy changes may remain a key threat to private insurers like Humana until affordable, universal coverage is achieved in the U.S.

Company Profile

Humana is one of the largest private health insurers in the U.S. with a focus on administering Medicare Advantage plans. The firm has built a niche specializing in government-sponsored programs, with nearly all its medical membership stemming from individual and group Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and the military's Tricare program. The firm is also a leader in stand-alone prescription drug plans for seniors enrolled in traditional fee-for-service Medicare. Beyond medical insurance, the company provides other healthcare services, including primary-care services, at-home services, and pharmacy benefit management.
