Home / Medicare is Changing at Russell Medical
Beginning January 1, 2026, Russell Medical will no longer accept Humana Medicare Advantage plans.* This change may affect your coverage, and we want to ensure you have the information you need to make the best decision for your healthcare.
What You Need to Know
Russell Medical will continue to accept Traditional Medicare.
We also accept many Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans.
Several Medicare Advantage plans (excluding Humana) remain in-network: Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Viva, Devoted, Aetna, Humana PEEHIP (in 2026), Oscar Health, Simpra, Cigna Health
Russell Medical will continue to accept employer sponsored plans such as PEEHIP, SEIB, and others.
Why This Matters
If you remain enrolled in a Humana Medicare Advantage plan after January 1, 2026, you will no longer have in-network coverage at Russell Medical. Choosing a plan that includes Russell Medical ensures you can continue seeing your current providers and receiving care close to home.
