Humana to pay Missouri $162K for false statements

Kentucky-based health insurer Humana has agreed to pay a fine of $161,800 to the state of Missouri for sending letters to roughly 1,600 policyholders in August 2013 that stated inaccurate information.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the company sent letters to Missourians that read: “Due to Missouri legislation, Humana is required to terminate your current policy on 12/31/13 and replace it with a new policy with 2014 ACA benefits starting January 1, 2014.”

However, no such Missouri legislation was enacted.
