Humana has announced that effective July 1, 2026, a $5.00 administrative fee will be assessed on each paper claim submitted on a CMS-1500 or UB-04 form for Medicare Advantage plans. This fee applies when the reimbursement amount for the claim is equal to or greater than $10.00.

To avoid this fee, Humana strongly encourages providers to submit claims electronically. If you are not yet set up for electronic claim submission, visit Humana.com or access resources through Availity at www.availity.com.
