Humana implements Sequestration Reductions
July 1, 2013As sequestration reductions have now been imposed by CMS, Humana has implemented the same reductions to network and non-network provider payments. All non-network providers and network providers who are reimbursed using a fee schedule based off the Medicare payment system, percentage of Medicare Advantage premium or Medicare allowed amount (e.g., resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS), diagnosis-related group (DRG), etc.) will have the same sequestration reduction applied in the same manner as CMS. This reduction applies to all Medicare Advantage plans. The “sequestration reduction amount” for each affected claim will be identified on the explanation of remittance providers will receive from Humana.
