Humana is a publicly traded, Fortune 50 healthcare company with a long history of successful innovation and reinvention.

The Insurance Strategy team supports Humana’s Medicare and Medicaid lines of business. This business unit, Humana’s largest, comprises the majority of the company’s total revenue and earnings.
