Programs offered include health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and managed Medicare, Medicaid, and dental programs for state government and private industry.

Initially, this program was offered to the city of Louisville to provide health care to all indigents in the city.
Founded in 1961, Humana is a publicly-held corporation with 1994 revenues of $3.65 billion. The company employs 15,700 people.
