The Louisville-based company, which has 12,000 employees and is one of the city’s largest employers, initially planned to reopen its office at limited capacity Sept. 7. 

In an Aug. 5 company email, Humana CMO William Shrank, MD, strongly advised employees to get vaccinated and to follow all health and safety protocols once returning to the office.

Though unvaccinated employees will be allowed to return to the office, they will be required to wear masks at all times, participate in routine testing, receive temperature checks and social distance, the Journal said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
