Becker's Healthcare October 24, 2024
Minneapolis-based Allina Health, a 12-hospital system, has notified about 18,000 patients with Humana Medicare Advantage plans that their clinicians will be out-of-network in 2025 unless the payer agrees to a contract that reduces prior authorization hurdles and claims denials, The Star Tribune reported Oct. 24.
“It’s important that Humana agree to a contract that reduces administrative burden, eliminates friction for patients and providers and keeps up with the rising cost of providing outstanding care,” a spokesperson for Allina said in a statement shared with Becker’s. “We continue to negotiate with Humana and hope to reach an agreement that allows us to remain in-network in 2025 so that patients can keep their preferred Allina Health providers and hospitals.”
