Tidewater Physicians Multispecialty Group reached a resolution with Humana to accept the insurer’s Medicare Advantage plans next year.
After months of confusion from patients and negotiations between parties, TPMG notified patients of the resolution in a Dec. 13 letter shared with the Daily Press and The Virginian-Pilot. Humana spokesperson Lisa Dimond confirmed TPMG signed an agreement to continue its in-network participation with the health insurance company.
That means Humana plan members, including retirees from the city of Newport News, can continue seeing their doctors and providers at TPMG on an in-network basis. TPMG, which offers primary care and more than 30 specialties, serves more than 150,000 patients across more than 85 locations in the Hampton Roads area, according to its website .
Sue Wills, a Newport News government retiree in York County, said she was pleased when she received a message from TPMG in her online patient portal on Dec. 12 to let her know they’d reached a resolution and would continue taking her insurance next year.
