Humana uses Availity for eligibility, claims and authorizations. Medicare Advantage claims follow Humana’s plan policies alongside Medicare coverage rules.
Denials we prevent with Humana
- Provider not credentialed or not linked to the group TIN
- Missing prior authorization for services on the payer’s list
- Eligibility or coordination of benefits issues
- Coding edits and bundling under payer policy
- Claims filed after the contract’s filing limit
- Medicare Advantage claims sent to the MAC instead of Humana
