Essential Insights on Condo Insurance for Humana Employees: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Healthcare Provider Update: Humana is one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States, primarily offering a range of Medicare Advantage plans, individual and family health insurance, and group health plans for employers. As we look towards 2026, healthcare costs are expected to rise significantly, with many experts forecasting increases in health insurance premiums across various states. For Humana, the pressure stems from a confluence of factors including the anticipated expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and rising medical costs. The Kaiser Family Foundation projects that without renewed subsidies, a staggering 92% of ACA policyholders could face premium hikes of over 75%, making 2026 one of the most challenging years for consumers navigating their healthcare finances. Factors like escalating hospital and drug costs, aggressive rate increases by insurers, and overall economic conditions contribute to this inflationary trend. Click here to learn more

Humana employees may benefit from understanding how the ownership structure of a condominium unit is different from that of a single-family house. Here’s what you need to know when purchasing insurance for your condo.

1. Understand the Master Policy

For Humana employees worried about condo insurance, since the ownership of all common areas is shared with other condo owners, the association of owners typically purchases insurance coverage (a master policy) for the common areas, e.g., hallways, exterior walls, etc. The condo association’s policy will outline what is covered and what is not.

2. Three Types of Coverage

There are three basic types of coverage under a master policy that those employed at Humana should be aware of.

• Primary buildings and common areas
• Your unit and any items within your unit, other than personal belongings
• Building, unit, and any fixtures

The individual coverage you may consider depends upon the scope of coverage of the master policy. Humana employees should also try to determine what is and isn’t covered under the master policy – this can influence the coverage you may need.

3. Know the Master Policy Deductible

Generally, an association’s master policy has a deductible that is charged pro-rata among unit owners in the event of a claim. Determining that obligation is important because while it may never materialize, it could represent a meaningful financial commitment.

4. Consider Additional Coverage

Similar to any homeowner, Humana employees will need to make decisions about other coverage options, such as cash value or replacement coverage, adding personal liability coverage, and whether flood insurance may be appropriate.

Several factors will affect the cost of condo insurance, including the insurance coverage provided by the homeowners association. You should consider the amount of your deductible and level of coverage before purchasing a condo insurance policy. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments.
