Important Reminder
State Health Plan members can register for
Humana provides coverage for State Health Plan Medicare-eligible members under a Group Medicare Advantage preferred provider organization (PPO) plan that became effective Jan. 1, 2021. This plan offers a “passive” network, which allows you to continue seeing your current healthcare provider regardless of being in or out of Humana’s network. If your healthcare provider participates in Medicare and agrees to bill Humana, you can continue with the doctor you see today—even if they are out of network.
Plan members’ in-network and out-of-network benefits are the same for any member on this plan.
There is a provider flyer that you may give to your healthcare provider that explains how the State Health Plan Humana Medicare Advantage plan works.
The flu shot: A good idea every year
Flu season begins in October and typically peaks between December and February. Some years it lasts as late as May. You can receive your annual flu shot at no cost to you!
It’s recommended to get a flu shot every year for a few reasons:
- Your body’s immune response from the vaccination naturally declines over time, and flu viruses change constantly.
- You should try to get your shot early before flu season begins because it takes about 2 weeks to become effective.
- You can still get the shot after flu season has begun, but you’re at risk of catching the flu until the vaccine becomes effective.
Building healthy relationships
Your relationship with your primary care provider (PCP) is an important step in managing your health. Having a PCP that you’re happy with can play an important role in being healthier and more active.
Benefits of having a PCP
- Your PCP will get to know your health history and can guide you toward preventive care to help you reach your health goals.
- You can build a trusting, long-term relationship, which may make it easier to talk about personal health matters.
- Your plan doesn’t require referrals to see other providers, but your PCP can help guide you when you need specialized care.
- Your PCP will help take care of you when you’re sick and help you stay healthy with preventive care.

Medication Adherence
Taking your medicine every time as prescribed by your doctor can help you manage your conditions and reduce the risk of complications. Forgetting to take your medicine or skipping doses for conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease may lead to unwanted results. For example, missing doses may increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure or other health problems.
