===Humana Military Healthcare Services===
In 1993, Humana founded Humana Military Healthcare Services (HMHS) as a wholly owned subsidiary.<ref name=biz/> They were awarded their first [[TRICARE]] contract in 1995, and began serving military beneficiaries in 1996.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SGyElmFkDc4C&q=HMHS+was+the+managed+care+contractor+for+the+Department+of+Defense+Military+Health+System+TRICARE+South+Region&pg=PA83|title=Project Healthcare Effectiveness Through Resource Optimization: Hearing|publisher=DIANE Publishing|isbn=9781422323243|pages=83|access-date=November 28, 2020|archive-date=April 26, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240426161916/https://books.google.com/books?id=SGyElmFkDc4C&q=HMHS+was+the+managed+care+contractor+for+the+Department+of+Defense+Military+Health+System+TRICARE+South+Region&pg=PA83#v=snippet&q=HMHS%20was%20the%20managed%20care%20contractor%20for%20the%20Department%20of%20Defense%20Military%20Health%20System%20TRICARE%20South%20Region&f=false|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
From 2004 to 2009, HMHS was the managed care contractor for the Department of Defense [[Military Health System]] [[TRICARE]] South Region.

In 2009, HMHS' Managed Care Support Contract was awarded to United Military and Veterans Services, a subsidiary of [[UnitedHealth Group]]. HMHS protested that decision and the [[Government Accountability Office]] upheld the protest in late 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|title=U.S. TRICARE Contract Protest By Humana Upheld|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-tricare-contract-protest-by-humana-upheld/|access-date=May 11, 2020|website=CBS News|date=November 29, 2009 |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2011, HMHS regained the five-year contract to administer medical benefits to military members and families in the South region, a contract worth $23.5 billion.<ref name="biz" /> In 2018, this was moved to the new TRICARE East region during the TRICARE regional realignment.

On December 22, 2022, the [[Department of Defense]] announced the award of the managed care support contract for the TRICARE East Region to Humana Military.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Contracts for December 22, 2022 |url=https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/3254039/https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/3254039// |access-date=December 29, 2022 |website=U.S. Department of Defense |language=en-US}}{{dead link|date=April 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
