Special Information for patients with Humana Medicare
If your Humana Medicare coverage is provided through the Kentucky Teachers’ Retirement System
(KTRS) or the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System (OPERS), Kentucky Heart Institute
providers are considered to be “in-network.”
Our long relationship with KTRS and OPERS has allowed KHI to be “grandfathered” into this
plan. Regardless of any communication you may have received indicating otherwise, your care
will be covered at the in-network level.
However, if your Humana Medicare coverage is provided through another retirement plan, such
as AK Steel, KHI is considered to be “out of network.”
If you have any questions or concerns about your coverage, please feel free to call your KHI
office. Our team is ready to assist you.
