The agreement continues the long-standing relationship that has
existed between the two companies for decades and provides
stability for Humana’s Medicare Advantage members and high-quality
care at all three ChenMed brands. The agreement also includes
CarePlus Medicare Advantage members in Florida.
“ChenMed and our partners at Humana understand seniors, and
together we have deep experience delivering on the spectrum of
their primary care needs. We look forward to continuing our work
with Humana to expand much-needed access to ChenMed’s
senior-focused concierge care and industry-leading patient
outcomes,” said Michael Redmond, Chief Financial Officer of
ChenMed. “We are excited about this agreement, which guarantees our
patients will continue to have access to Humana’s leading health
plans, along with the personalized, high-touch care we
provide.”
Humana and ChenMed began their relationship in the early 1990s
focused in South Florida. The relationship was strengthened in
2011, when ChenMed and Humana formed a joint-venture, JenCare
Senior Medical Centers, which rapidly grew outside of Florida. The
continued success of JenCare led ChenMed to the recent hiring of
Steve Nelson as Chief Executive Officer for JenCare. His proven
industry expertise and track record in scaling large organizations
will be pivotal to drive growth for JenCare and improve seniors’
access to high-quality care at a lower cost.
“Specialized primary care facilities focused on seniors’ unique
needs have a proven positive impact on health outcomes. We are
excited to not only strengthen our long-standing relationship with
ChenMed, but also benefit from its growing national presence to
ensure a broader group of seniors have access to providers who are
focused on their needs,” said George Renaudin, Humana’s President
of Medicare and Medicaid. “More senior-focused providers in more
markets means more options for high-quality, value-based care for
our members.”
ChenMed currently operates three brands of medical centers
delivering high-touch, physician-led personalized care across more
than 120 locations in 15 states – Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia.
Humana has served Medicare beneficiaries for nearly 40 years,
with about 8.6 million Medicare members in all 50 states,
Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, as of January 2023.
Approximately 5.6 million of those members are enrolled in a
Medicare Advantage plan. Most members have access to a broad health
care provider network, including care from multiple senior-focused
primary care providers, across all of ChenMed’s brands and
facilities, and Humana’s CenterWell- and Conviva-branded
senior-focused primary care facilities.
