The agreement provides in-network access for Humana Medicare

their health and well-being here in the Chicagoland area.”
“Humana is pleased to offer our members greater choice in health
care, particularly as we try and help them stay as healthy as
possible during these challenging times,” said Chuck Dow, Humana
Regional President for Medicare. “Rush Health has a unique local
history that dates back nearly 200 years, before the City of
Chicago was even incorporated. We’re proud to work together to meet
the needs of the communities we serve.”
Humana has an extensive and growing value-based care presence.
As of June 30, 2020, Humana has more than 2.6 million individual
