Medical Coverage Policies for May, June and July

Humana's medical coverage policies are based on evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature, technology assessments obtained from independent medical research organizations, evidence-based consensus statements and evidence-based guidelines from nationally recognized professional health care organizations.

Information about medical coverage policies can be found on Humana.com. Click http://www.humana.com/providers/tools/

and then choose "Medical Coverage Policies." The medical coverage policies can be reviewed by name as well as revision date. You also may search for a particular policy using the search box. More detailed information may be found by reviewing "How to Read a Medical Coverage Policy" and "Understanding the Medical Coverage Policy Development Process".
