Gold Choice Medicare Advantage PFFS Plan from Humana

The Humana Gold Choice Medicare Advantage plan is a private fee-for-service (PFFS) plan. That means, strictly speaking there isn’t a provider network with this kind of plan. However, since there is no network, your provider chooses at the point of service whether to accept this Medicare PFFS plan or not. A Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service plan works differently than a Medicare supplement plan. The network providers (that is, providers who have signed contracts with Humana) have already agreed to see members of our plan. If your provider is not one of Humana’s network providers, then the provider is not required to agree to accept the plan’s terms and conditions, of payment, they may choose not to provide health care services to you, except in emergencies. If this happens, you will need to find another provider that will accept our terms and conditions of payment. Humana has also included Part D prescription drug coverage into this plan.
