Ohio State Out of Network for Humana | Columbus News

Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center and The James Cancer Center are going out of network for Humana insurance starting October 1, affecting 26,000 patients on Humana Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans — potentially raising costs unless they switch coverage. While Humana says it’s open to renewing if costs stay affordable, Ohio State expressed disappointment but is helping patients transition. This follows a similar dispute with Mount Carmel Health System, highlighting how complex these negotiations are and their real impact on care access. Patients should keep scheduled appointments for now, though some treatments may continue for up to 90 days after the cutoff — emergency care remains covered. With Medicare Advantage’s open enrollment running Oct 15–Dec 7, patients should review options to stay in-network starting Jan 1. Ohio State still accepts Original Medicare and many other plans.
