HumanaOne phasing out maternity

7. February 2008 by Jon Moss.

 Humana is phasing maternity coverage out of their individual plans.  Those currently enrolled in the HumanaOne Plan with the maternity options will have the ability to keep the benefit as long as they remain enrolled in their current plan.  All future plans will be sold without the maternity option.  Humana will remove maternity coverage in three phases.

Phase one will remove the option in February 2008 from the following states:  Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.

 Phase two will elinate maternity coverage from all plans sold as of March 2008  from Utah.

The final phase will eliminate the maternity option as of mid April from the following states:  Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

Current policy holders with maternity coverage will not be affected by the changes.  Individuals applying for coverage prior to the dates listed above still have ability to elect maternity coverage.  HumanaOne allows individuals to look at plan options, get quotes and apply online for coverage.
