Rockefeller Urging Humana, CAMC Compromise

{Charleston, West Virginia}…Negotiations between Humana Inc. and Charleston Area Medical Center about whether to provide benefits to Medicare Advantage recipients are apparently continuing after talks broke down in September. If an agreement is not reached before the "open-enrollment period" ends next Friday, senior citizens who purchased Medicare Advantage health-plan benefits through Humana will not be able to get reimbursed for health care they receive at CAMC or from physicians at the hospital. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said Thursday he has been actively involved in daily discussions and is encouraging all parties to go back to the table to work out a compromise.
