• Kentucky: Humana on Wednesday announced that it will restructure its operations in 2023 to increase enrollment and expand its offerings to payers. Under the company's new structure, the organization will be divided into two units—called Insurance Services and CenterWell. According to Humana CEO Bruce Broussard, the reorganization is part of the company's $1 billion "value-creation plan," a cost-saving strategy the company debuted in February. The company plans to complete its search for a president to lead its insurance division by the end of 2022. "A key focus of this role will be to continue to simplify our structure to be more agile," Broussard said. (Tepper, Modern Healthcare, 7/27; Liss, Healthcare Dive, 7/27)
