Humana has reached an agreement with Trinity Health that gives the managed care company’s Medicare Advantage members in-network access to seven Trinity hospitals located in southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey. 
Eric Bohannon, Humana’s regional president, said this expansion is part of the company’s ongoing effort to provide additional care options for senior adults in its local Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO and private fee-for-service plans.
“Increasing access to care is essential in supporting our members as they strive to lead healthy lives,” Bohannon said.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Trinity Health’s Philadelphia-area hospitals are:
  • Mercy Health System’s three hospitals in southeastern Pennsylvania: Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, and Mercy Philadelphia Hospital and Nazareth Hospital, both in Philadelphia
  • Saint Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Pa.
  • Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center and Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Camden and Willingboro, N.J., respectively
  • St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton, N.J.
The agreement also provides in-network access to the more than 700 primary care and specialty physicians employed by the hospitals.
