Humana group and military segment president Chris Hunter said: “Accolade is doing highly unique work in the healthcare space, as their connected platform and personalised service create impressive member satisfaction and value for employers.
“Given our existing relationship, we see the opportunity for Accolade to emerge as a key element of the value proposition for Humana’s employer group business, further enhancing the benefits of the service to our joint customers and their members.”
In March this year, Humana and Accolade first announced their partnership, aimed at combining their capabilities to offer a distinguishing healthcare experience for individuals and their employers.
