Agreement will help veterans overcome barriers
to achieving their best health
Humana’s sponsorship of the DAV Virtual 5K will
kick off the relationship
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health and
well-being companies, has entered into an agreement with DAV
(Disabled American Veterans), an organization whose mission is
empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and
dignity, to be their exclusive national Medicare Advantage, PDP and
Medicare Supplement sponsor. DAV helps more than one million
veterans each year access the full range of benefits and services
they earned in service to their nation, such as medical care,
disability compensation, employment and transportation, to name a
few.
Humana’s relationship with DAV aligns with its rich history of
supporting the men and women who served and expands its growing
commitments to organizations that provide critical programs and
services for veterans and their families. As part of this
agreement, Humana becomes DAV’s national Medicare Advantage, PDP
and Medicare Supplement sponsor.
“Humana is fully invested in providing the unique health care
services and experiences our nation’s veterans deserve,” said Alan
Wheatley, Humana’s Retail Segment President. “We admire DAV’s
mission, and our relationship will advance our commitment to
providing veterans with the resources needed to maximize their
physical and mental health as well as the social needs that may
impact their daily lives.”
“DAV is honored and delighted to partner with such a prominent
health care leader such as Humana as our new Medicare sponsor,”
said DAV National Adjutant Marc Burgess. “Their expertise in
providing crucial Medicare and prescription drug coverage will
offer America’s veterans peace of mind by delivering
straightforward and timely care.”
As part of the agreement, Humana will work directly with DAV to
coordinate national and local programs or events which will provide
opportunities for DAV members to achieve their best health.
Services for many members include access to Humana Medicare
Advantage plans, including the Humana Honor plan designed with
veterans in mind. A Humana Honor plan may complement the benefits
some veterans receive from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Other benefits include a Part B giveback and rich dental benefits,
among others. Humana Honor plans do not include prescription drug
coverage.
DAV members will benefit from Humana’s Bold Goal strategy, which
addresses social determinants of health and health-related social
needs by working within communities to screen and refer members to
resources and long-term support. Specifically, Humana works with
those who know veterans best—such as DAV—to assure veterans are
receiving the care they need.
Humana is proud to support DAV’s mission and will kick off the
relationship as the 2020 DAV 5K presenting sponsor, a virtual race
that starts on November 7 and runs through Veterans Day. People
interested in the 5K can register at www.DAV5K.org.

heroes on Capitol Hill; providing employment resources to veterans
and their families and educating the public about the great
sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian
life. DAV, a non-profit organization with more than 1 million
