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 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
