Humana recently declared a cash dividend of US$0.885 per share and announced the acquisition of MaxHealth to expand its CenterWell Senior Primary Care network. These actions signal Humana’s strategy to balance returning cash to shareholders with strengthening its value-based senior care capabilities, especially amidst ongoing concerns regarding Medicare Advantage reimbursement. The article emphasizes that while these moves don’t eliminate short-term risks related to Medicare Advantage margins, they align with the crucial need for clarity from future CMS rate and Stars decisions.
