HumanaChoice H5216-157 (PPO) H5216-157 is a 2023 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Humana available to residents in South Carolina and Georgia. This plan does not provide extra prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. Humana HumanaChoice H5216-157 (PPO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $6,100 (MOOP).

Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care if you sign up for Medicare Advantage in South Carolina or Medicare Advantage in Georgia.

2023 Humana Medicare Advantage Plan Overview

What type of plan is HumanaChoice H5216-157 (PPO)

HumanaChoice H5216-157 (PPO) is a Local PPO *. A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a Medicare plan that has created contracts with a network of "preferred" providers for you to choose from at reduced rates. You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network, but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.
