What are the hours and when should I call?
Humana operates the call center for this 877-877-1051 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-8pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,702 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Humana call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Humana phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Humana staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Humana is Friday.The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 48% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 1,702 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday, which is 447% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call Humana is Wednesday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Humana staffs up on Wednesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
I've been searching around to see if I can find a better supplemental dental insurance so I decided to call companies that offer dental insurance. On my list was Humana, and I found this number to talk to them about dental benefits. I figured that talking to someone in person would help me quickly sort through what options are available to me and save me time in the long run.
While I could use online searches to narrow down options, I prefer to talk to someone because I can explain my special circumstances and exactly what you need. Even if I ended up on hold it would make my time worth it. Given Humana provides a lot of insurance products to a wide variety of people, I went into the phone call expecting to get stuck on hold for a long time. It was a pleasant surprise that I didn't end up stuck on hold.
When I called, I was greeted by an agent that said, "You have reached the Humana Dental enrollment and information center. Calls may be recorded for quality assurance. What would you like to do? You can say shop for a new plan, change an existing plan, or something else." I said, new plan, but it didn't hear me so it repeated the options and asked me to press 1. After I pressed one it had no problems and immediately said, "Please say the state where you live in."
After replying Ohio and listening to the system confirm it, I was told to, "Please hold for the next available licensed agent." Before I even had the chance to wait, I was immediately transferred to a live agent. While the service was quick, the agent did have a very thick accent. We managed to work our way through the discussion, but it would have been easier if they were easier to understand.

Information about why customers call Humana is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Humana, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Humana customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
