Humana Healthy Horizons® in Louisiana members may see any participating network provider, including specialists and inpatient hospitals. Humana Healthy Horizons does not require referrals from primary care physicians (PCPs) to see participating specialists; however, prior authorization must be obtained to see nonparticipating providers. Members may self-refer to any participating provider. PCPs do not need to arrange or approve these services for members, as long as applicable benefit limits have not been exhausted.
