NU Online News Service, Sept. 26, 12:10 p.m. – Humana Inc., Louisville, Ky., says it believes a test of its new SmartSuite consumer-driven health program on 10,000 of its own employees and dependents saved it $2 million for the 12-month period ending in June.
Humana had expected claims costs to increase 19% for the employees and dependents, but the consumer-driven program helped hold the increase to 4.9%, Humana estimates.
