Less Paperwork, More Connected Care: Humana and Epic Advance Data Sharing<\/b><\/p>\n

Technology demonstration at CMS Connectathon showcases digital innovations that align with federal interoperability priorities and improve patient experience<\/i><\/p>\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nHumana Inc. [NYSE: HUM] today announced the broad activation of Epic\u2019s Coverage Finder<\/b> and Digital Insurance Card Exchange<\/b> capabilities for its Medicare Advantage membership \u2013 marking a significant milestone in the shift toward digital-first, patient-centered care.<\/p>\n

\nFor more than 800,000 Humana Medicare Advantage members who receive care at about 120 different health systems, checking in at the doctor\u2019s office is now simpler than ever. As additional providers adopt these capabilities, millions more patients could benefit. Coverage can be confirmed automatically in advance \u2013 no card, no paperwork, and no clipboard needed.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThese capabilities help us meet patients where they are \u2013 by simplifying check-in, ensuring accurate information, and making their experience smoother,\u201d said Imran A. Andrabi, MD, President and CEO of Froedtert ThedaCare. \u201cIt\u2019s an improvement that helps patients feel supported the moment they walk in, which directly aligns with our vision of being their trusted partner in health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe announcement builds on Humana and Epic\u2019s joint pledge to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services <\/b>(CMS) Health Technology Ecosystem<\/b>, a White House-backed initiative aimed at eliminating outdated, paper-based processes and creating a patient-centric healthcare system. Humana and Epic were among the first 60 organizations to commit to this vision \u2013 now embraced by about 400 organizations nationwide. At last week\u2019s CMS Connectathon in Washington, D.C., the two companies demonstrated these capabilities, showcasing how connections between payers and providers reduce administrative workload for healthcare staff and make life easier for patients as they seek care.<\/p>\n

\nBoth features are part of Epic\u2019s Payer Platform, which enables Humana members\u2019 insurance information \u2013 including coverage details and digital insurance cards \u2013 to be securely and automatically shared with healthcare providers using Epic. This eliminates the need for manual entry or physical cards at check-in, reduces administrative burden, and improves data accuracy.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be among the first to bring these capabilities to life and demonstrate them directly to CMS,\u201d said George Renaudin, President of Insurance at Humana. \u201cThis is more than a technology launch \u2013 it\u2019s a step toward a more connected, efficient healthcare system that puts people first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHumana is actively encouraging its provider-partners using Epic to enable these capabilities for their patients.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWith Coverage Finder and Digital Insurance Card Exchange, more than a million patients have experienced easier check-ins,” said Alan Hutchison, Vice President at Epic. “From reducing time at the front desk by up to 50% to ensuring their coverage is accurate and up to date, this makes insurance information one less thing patients need to worry about.”<\/p>\n
