Humana has continually been expanding home care services over the last four years. Through the acquisition of Kindred at Home, now being rebranded as CenterWell Home Health, and organic growth, the company has grown to one of the largest providers of home care services. 

The expansion into Virginia is the next step in their growth trajectory. 

“Humana’s acquisition of onehome in 2021 and expansion into Virginia this year further advances the company’s commitment to building our Home Solutions business and value-based offerings,” said President of Humana’s Home Solutions business, Andrew Agwunobi, M.D., MBA. “There is a tremendous need for a care model that provides high quality, fully-integrated care in the home at reduced cost. Humana’s value-based approach aims to deliver on that promise and on our mission of bringing healing home.”

 The onehome value-based model is rolling out in Richmond, Roanoke, and Southern Virginia counties to begin. After several months, it will be able to coordinate home care services for Medicare Advantage plan members throughout the entire state, as well as North Carolina. 

“onehome’s value-based approach relieves patients and physicians from the burden of dealing with multiple providers of home health services, including medication and equipment, which is the common experience for those currently navigating the extremely fragmented home health industry,” said Ramon Falero, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of onehome. “There’s a tremendous benefit for seniors in receiving better coordinated home care services that improve their health and their quality of life.”

This expansion is just the next step for Humana, with more to come in the future. Within 5 years, the company expects that 50% of all its Medicare Advantage plan members to have access to the value-based home care model.
