• Humana is the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.^[2]
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.^[3]
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.^[4]
• In July 2015, Aetna announced that it would acquire Humana for $37 billion in cash and stock (approximately $230 a share at that time). Aetna and Humana shareholders would own 74% and 26% of the new combined company, however the merger was blocked by a federal judge in January 2017.^[5]

• On May 30, 1996, Linda Peeno, a physician who was contracted to work for Humana for nine months, testified before Congress as to the downside of managed care. Peeno said she was effectively rewarded by her employer for causing the death of a patient, because it saved the company a half-million dollars. Peeno stated that she felt the "managed care" model was inherently unethical.^[12]
• In July 2018, Humana joined two private equity firms in the acquisition of Kindred Healthcare. The deal provided Humana with a 40% stake in the company's home health, hospice and community care businesses, called "Kindred at Home," for approximately $800 million.

Note: This had a Forbes Contributor source and the other source did not verify 100% of the sentence, so I swapped Forbes with Fierce Healthcare.

• In 2021, Susan Diamond, formerly occupying an interim position, was announced to be the new permanent CFO. Her appointment to the position comes with the company's focus being turned towards the home healthcare business, acquiring in April of the same year a 60% stake in Kindred at Home, an in-home care and hospice business.^[13]

Note: The article currently uses three sources, one of which is a press release. The WSJ article verifies all information in the sentence, so the other two were removed.

Rewrote sentence with new source:

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.^[14][15]

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

New: The Derby City Distaff Stakes was created in 1987. In 1995, Humana became its sponsor; the race was named the Humana Distaff Handicap from 1995-2006 and the Humana Distaff from 2007-2019.^[16][17]

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.^[18]

Removed sentence due to lack of sourcing source:

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.
• On November 16, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Humana Inc. partnered to expand on traditional private-sector approaches to population health management.
• LPGA player Nancy Scranton was a spokesperson for Humana.
• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in a letter to the insurance industry, threatened that bad actors may be excluded from new health insurance markets that were to open in 2014. Senate Republicans pointed out in a letter to Sebelius that a 1997 directive from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explicitly allowed HMOs to tell members about legislation and urge them to express opinions.

Note: This was specifically removed because it is not about Humana

Humana was a tour partner of the PGA Tour beginning in 2005. It served as the official health benefits provider of the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.^[1] In 2014, the company announced it would end its sponsorship after the 2015 event.^[2]

These are sentences that can stay the same but should have a new source swapped, since the current one is not up to guidelines. The proposed source verifies the sentences as they are.

• In 1993, Humana had become the largest hospital operator in the country, owning 77 hospitals.^[3]
• In 2001, Humana was a cofounder of Avality.^[4]
• In May 2011, Humana announced it would be using mobileStorm to transmit protected health information to patients.^[5]

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines. An alternative source was located, but it does not verify the current sentence so a rewrite is needed.

• Old: In 2024, the company ranked 92 on the Fortune 500 list, which made it the highest ranked (by revenues) company based in Kentucky.

New: Humana ranked No. 39 on the 2025 United States Fortune 500 list and No. 85 on the 2025 Global Fortune 500 list.^[1][2]

• Old: The Humana Distaff Handicap is a Grade 1 race for thoroughbred fillies and mares, four-years-old and up. The race is run each spring on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs and set at a distance of 7 furlongs for a purse of $250,000.

• Old: It is the fourth largest health insurance provider in the U.S.

New: It was the sixth-largest insurer in the world, as of 2025.^[5]

These are sentences where the current source is not up to guidelines and I have not been able to locate an alternative source, so I am proposing removal of the sentence entirely.

• During this period, Humana developed the double corridor model for hospital construction. This design minimized the distance between patients and nurses by placing nursing support services in the interior of the building with patient rooms surrounding the perimeter.^{[citation needed]}
