Humana Tops Quarterly Estimates, Maintains Profit Outlook as Medical Costs Stay in Line Humana's latest quarterly results exceeded expectations, but the health insurer's maintained profit outlook is a reminder that rising medical costs remain a pressing concern for the industry.

CFO Celeste Mellet attributed this success to stabilizing medical cost trends and Humana's efforts to improve health outcomes for its members.
