Dive Brief:
Humana is sketching out expansion plans for its fledgling primary care network, announcing Wednesday that its CenterWell and Conviva brands expect to add up to 30 new centers this year.
The new centers are being built or acquired in 11 of the 15 states where Humana’s primary care network already has a presence, though the insurer is also foraying into new metro areas, including Augusta and Savannah in Georgia; Burlington, Greensboro and Winston-Salem in North Carolina; and Wichita, Kansas, according to a press release on Wednesday.
The expansion includes 11 senior primary care centers co-located at Walmart stores, finishing the buildout of a joint initiative Walmart and Humana launched last year. Centers will open throughout the year, with a number opening this spring, according to a spokesperson. Humana declined to share how much it is investing in the expansion.
