Evidence from the contract record for the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefit Program shows that the option year running from Jan. 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2026, was exercised, but it is for Evernorth Federal Services (Express Scripts), not Humana.
A December 2025 contract action (modification P00093 to contract HT940221C0007) awarded $719,426,247 for the fourth one-year option period for the Defense Health Agency TRICARE Pharmacy Benefit Program.
The description of that modification explicitly states that "The period of performance for this option is Jan. 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2026," and that pharmacy benefit services will continue nationwide and via the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy.
However, this contract is awarded to Evernorth Federal Services Inc., not Humana Government Business; Humana is the contractor on a different TRICARE managed care support contract (HT940223C0001) whose 2026 option-year dates aren’t specified in the available public summaries.
Given the mismatch of contractor name but a clear match to the described 2026 option-year dates, the specific claim that “Humana’s TRICARE contract option year runs Jan 1, 2026 to Dec 31, 2026” is not supported by the best available evidence.
Verdict: failed.
- HigherGov summary of contract HT940221C0007 (TRICARE Pharmacy Benefit Program), noting Dec. 15, 2025 modification P00093 with option period Jan. 1, 2026 to Dec. 31, 2026, awarded to Evernorth Federal Services Inc.
- HigherGov same record: background on the TPharm5 contract, base and seven one-year option periods, contractor identification as Express Scripts/Evernorth, not Humana.
- GovTribe record for HT940223C0001 (Humana Government Business TRICARE East Region managed care contract), confirming Humana as contractor but without public documentation tying an option period specifically to Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2026.
