Limits to plan participation
Effective April 15, 2024, Patient First will no longer accept new patients who are members of Humana at our Virginia centers.
After years of cooperating with Humana to expand access to medical care for its members in Virginia, Patient First has been forced to make the difficult decision to limit its participation with Humana Medicare Advantage plans. This decision was made in response to Humana’s refusal to negotiate in good faith regarding routine adjustments to reimbursement. In order to maintain high standards of care, we need to be reimbursed at a rate that allows us to keep up with the increasing cost of providing health care services to the community. We are hopeful that Humana will work with us to resolve this situation.
What does this mean for our patients?
Existing Patients: If you have been seen at any Patient First center at any time in the past, nothing has changed. Patient First will continue to register and see you.
New Patients Insured Under Humana Medicare Advantage: As of April 15, 2024, Patient First will no longer accept new patients who are members of Humana at our Virginia centers, even on an out-of-network, self-pay basis.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause to our prospective patients. We hope to be able to serve you in the future.
