MUSC Health Charleston is now part of the Humana Medicare Advantage network

More seniors now have access to the world-class doctors at MUSC Health, thanks to a new agreement with insurer Humana.

MUSC Health physicians are now included in Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans offered in the Charleston market. This means that people with Humana Medicare Advantage will be able to see doctors at the hospital that U.S. News & World Report ranks as No. 1 in South Carolina, which includes the well-regarded MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center.

“As we focus on expanding access to high-quality care for people throughout the state, we continue to deliver excellence to our patients right here in Charleston, and I’m delighted that more people in the Charleston area will be able to access this care,” said Patrick J. Cawley, M.D., MUSC Health CEO and vice president for Health Affairs, University. "Care team members at academic health sciences centers can provide care based on the latest research. At MUSC Health, we focus on innovation with a commitment to patient-centered care.”

Humana, a leading health and well-being company, has a strong and growing commitment to South Carolina, serving 425,000 members in the state. Humana currently provides coordinated medical, wellness and pharmacy benefits coverage to its Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan members in South Carolina, as well as members of the military, military retirees and their dependents, under Humana's partnership with the TRICARE program.
