Parts of Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health’s Colorado and Texas markets are back in network for Humana Medicare Advantage members under a national, three-year agreement, according to a March 23 news release.
The agreement, which is the product of nearly one year of negotiations, covers services, facilities and providers.
CommonSpirit’s Colorado and Texas markets split from the network going into 2025, according to a spokesperson from the health system. Instead of negotiating separate contracts, the health system worked on a broader arrangement inclusive of all markets.
CommonSpirit operates 12 hospitals in Colorado. Its foundational merger between Englewood, Colo.-based Catholic Health Initiatives and San Francisco-based Dignity Health in 2019 prompted CHI’s Houston-based St. Luke’s Health Texas to fall under the CommonSpirit umbrella, as well.
CommonSpirit maintains a 24-state footprint across the country. The news release said the health system was committed to achieving “sustainable terms” with Medicare Advantage. In 2025, 40 health systems across the U.S. dropped agreements with MA plans.
“Humana is committed to ensuring our members have uninterrupted access to the care and providers they rely on most,” Caraline Coats, Humana’s senior vice president of provider strategy and operations, said.
