Humana, a managed health care company that markets and administers health insurance, is celebrating a landmark occasion.
The Louisville, KY, firm's subsidiary, Humana Pharmacy Solutions, has opened RightSource, its mail-order pharmacy call center and support operations. The new establishment will provide mail delivery to members’ home, from its Irving, TX, operations center.
To honor the unveiling, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held. Present were Texas State Rep. Linda Harper Brown, Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne, Dr. William Fleming, President of Humana Pharmacy Solutions, and Jo Ann Goin, past Chairwoman of the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce.
The firm isn't the only one with a reason to celebrate. Many hopeful employees in the area could be looking at a new opportunity. The facility, located on W. John Carpenter Freeway, is set to make a slew of hires. With 190 employees currently at work, some 620 additional jobs will be added to the center over the next three years.
“The opening of the RightSource call center and support operation in Irving is not only a commitment to provide outstanding mail-order prescription delivery to our customers but also a credit to the abundant, well-trained labor pool and excellent business climate offered in the Metroplex," stated Fleming. “We anticipate continued robust growth in our RightSource operations and we’re committed to improving our members’ health care experience.”
The positions to be filled include pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, customer service representatives, and data entry clerks.
All three floors of the building will built out to accommodate its office and work spaces, open meeting spaces, conference rooms, training and huddle rooms, storage areas and communications functions.
Part of the reason the brand may be so ambitious with its new location, is because of the success of its past endeavors in the area. The company has similar mail-order operations in Arizona and Ohio. Collectively, it serves 1.5 million members and filled nearly 20 million scripts in 2012.
