DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Kettering Health's contract with private Medicare Advantage insurers Humana, Inc. and Devoted Health, Inc. will not be renewed for 2026.

Kettering announced the contract will expire on December 31, 2025. It said this decision follows a deep analysis of both payer policies and administrative practices, which found issues with denials, reduced or non-payment and created operational burden.

Kettering said it has attempted to address these challenges with Humana and Devoted since May 2025 and provided opportunities for change and conversations on possible contract renewal.

“Despite these efforts, we were not able to reach an agreement that aligned with our values and our commitment to patient care,” wrote Kettering.
