Concerned about a reocurring charge from “HUM COMPBEN E MER” on your credit card statement? While it’s not impossible for this to be a fraudulent charge, it’s very likely that this is actually a legitimate charge from Humana Insurance, usually Humana Dental Insurance.
Previously you might have seen this charge on your statement as “Humana Comprehensive Benefits”.
This charge might more, specifically appear as:
- CHKCARDHUM COMPBEN E MER GA
- POS Debit HUM COMPBEN E MER GA
- PRE-AUTH HUM COMPBEN E MER GA
Or similar variants, with some sort of prefix description and then the “COMPBEN E MER GA” phrase.
While “HUM COMPBEN” might seem super confusing to most people, it makes sense with some context. HUM is short for “Humana” which is a popular health insurance company and “COMPBEN” is short for “Compensation and Benefits” which are exactly what you pay your insurance company for.
