How Humana May Cover Depression Treatment in West Virginia

Important: Humana in West Virginia offers Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. Mental health parity for Humana Medicare Advantage plans is governed by federal CMS regulations under 42 CFR Part 422, not West Virginia's state mental health parity statute (W. Va. Code § 33-25-8r et seq.), which applies to state-regulated commercial plans.

Humana Medicare Advantage plans in West Virginia may cover depression treatment through:

• Psychiatric evaluations and medication management – covered as Part B mental health services, subject to your plan's cost-sharing structure
• Depression medications through Humana Pharmacy Solutions (HPS) – SSRI and SNRI generics are typically at lower Part D formulary tiers with no prior authorization; bupropion, mirtazapine, and TCA generics are also typically at lower tiers; branded antidepressants such as Trintellix and Auvelity may be at higher tiers and may require prior authorization or step therapy
• Spravato (esketamine) – a specialty treatment for treatment-resistant depression administered under REMS protocols; as a Schedule III controlled substance, W. Va. Code § 60A-4-403a requires EPCS for Spravato in West Virginia; may require prior authorization at a specialty tier

Standard antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, bupropion, mirtazapine, TCAs) are not controlled substances and are not subject to West Virginia's EPCS requirement.
