How Humana Commercial Supports Home Dialysis Patients
Humana Commercial offers employer-based, individual, and family plans designed to support medically necessary dialysis services. Their plans typically cover dialysis both in-center and at home.
According to Humana’s clinical policies, home dialysis is considered medically necessary for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) when prescribed by a nephrologist.
Coverage may include:
- Home Hemodialysis (HHD)
- Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)
In-center dialysis, if preferred or required
What’s Usually Covered Under Home Dialysis
Humana Commercial plans are designed to provide flexibility for patients who need home dialysis. Most plans cover both Home Hemodialysis (HHD) and Peritoneal Dialysis (PD), allowing you and your care team to choose the therapy that best suits your medical needs and lifestyle.
Here’s what coverage typically includes:
- Dialysis machines (home hemodialysis equipment)
- Essential supplies (dialyzers, tubing, needles, solutions)
- Patient and caregiver training to safely perform dialysis at home
- Peritoneal dialysis solutions and accessories, when applicable
- Ongoing support services that may vary depending on your plan
If you’re traveling or relocating, coverage can sometimes be more complex. Benefits may depend on your geographic region or in-network providers. Dialyze Direct can explain what’s included, outline portability options, and ensure you stay connected to care, even if you move outside of New York or to another state.
