Third-party network access
Updated July 2025: Humana enters into agreements that grant some third parties access to Humana’s contracted provider network.

If a contracted dental provider no longer wants to have third parties accessing its services under the contract the dental provider and Humana entered into, the contracted dental provider can reach out to its Humana dental representative to be removed from third-party access.
