Who Humana Is Best For

👷

Small Groups Seeking Level-Funded Plans

Humana was one of the first carriers to push level-funding downstream to 5-life groups and remains a go-to for healthy small groups wanting potential claims refunds.

🏃

Wellness-Focused Employers

The Go365 program gamifies healthy behavior with real rewards — it’s the strongest wellness engagement platform of any major Colorado carrier.

🦷

Employers Who Want Bundled Benefits

Humana’s ancillary suite (dental, vision, life) is mature and tightly integrated for simplified billing and administration.

📊

Groups with Stable Claims History

If your group is healthy and predictable, Humana’s level-funded model can return meaningful dollars at the end of the plan year.

Why Colorado Employers Choose Humana

  • Level-funded down to 5 lives: One of the only carriers to underwrite small-group level-funding in Colorado.
  • Go365 wellness rewards: Employees earn points and real rewards for healthy activities, which drives engagement.
  • Strong dental & vision bundle: Humana’s ancillary products are competitively priced and easy to administer.
  • ChoiceCare Network: Solid national PPO access through a leased arrangement.
  • Caveat: Humana has the highest 15-year average rate increase of the eight major carriers — renewals are frequently a challenge after year one.

Renewal Increase History

Humana’s 15-year average renewal is approximately 8.7% — the highest of the eight major Colorado carriers. Level-funded plans with favorable claims experience can mitigate this, but fully-insured renewals historically run hot.
