Humana and Monogram Health are pleased to announce a significant expansion, extending member access to in-home treatment for kidney disease and its underlying causes. Eligible Humana Medicare Advantage members in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and now Georgia with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) will have access to Monogram’s evidence-based nephrology and multispecialty value-based care in the comfort of their homes.
“It is our privilege to work together with Humana to deliver quality, specialist-driven care to their members where they are most comfortable – in their homes.”
Value-based care focuses on the collaboration and coordination of all aspects of a patient’s care, and this expansion enables earlier interventions to a larger population in existing markets while also reaching new patients statewide in Georgia, highlighting a strong commitment to quality, in-home kidney care that addresses the needs of traditionally underserved populations.

“Providing access to quality care for our Medicare Advantage members with complex health conditions is crucial,” said Alan Stewart, President of Humana’s Medicare East Division. “Our collaboration with Monogram enables us to enhance support for our members with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease to help improve health outcomes.”
“We don’t just treat the manifestation of the disease, but the conditions that cause kidney disease, like hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic disorders,” said Michael Uchrin, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Monogram Health. “It is our privilege to work together with Humana to deliver quality, specialist-driven care to their members where they are most comfortable – in their homes.”

Chronic kidney disease affects approximately 37 million Americans, many of whom also struggle with multiple chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. A majority of CKD patients have never seen a nephrologist, revealing a considerable deficiency in specialized care access. This is particularly relevant in the states Monogram covers through this agreement with Humana – as nearly 15% of the Medicare aged population in Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana have chronic kidney disease, which are some of the highest prevalence rates in the country.
