LOUISVILLE –  Humana has announced that Kroger Health and its family of pharmacies, Costco, Publix and H-E-B have joined its preferred stand-alone Medicare Part D pharmacy network for 2021.

Humana Medicare prescription drug plan members have already enjoyed lower out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs at more than 5,200 Walmart, Walmart Neighborhood Markets, and Sam’s Club pharmacies as part of a preferred cost-sharing agreement with Humana.  Now members will be able to save on prescriptions at nearly 9,500 pharmacy locations with the addition of Kroger Health and its family of pharmacies, Costco, Publix and HEB.

“Humana is committed to putting our members at the center of everything we do as we strive to make the healthcare experience better, more personal and more caring,” said Susan Smith, senior vice president, Humana Medicare. “We welcome the addition of these four retail pharmacies to our preferred stand-alone Medicare Part D network. This significantly increases the number of locations where our members will be able to find low-cost options for their prescription medications.”

 The new agreements will take effect on January 1, 2021.
