Mercy Health announced Monday it has successfully concluded negotiations with Humana, ensuring over 11,450 patients across Kentucky will continue to have in-network access to Mercy Health providers and facilities.

This agreement, effective Dec. 1, covers Humana contracts for Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid health plans.

Under this agreement, Mercy Health hospitals, physicians, urgent care clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and other care sites will remain in-network for all patients covered by Humana’s plans.
