U.S. health insurer Humana Inc reported a 75.1% rise in first-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped partly by higher revenue from its largest unit that offers Medicare plans.
Humana said its net income rose to $828 million, or $6.39 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, from $473 million, or $3.56 per share, a year earlier. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nBw3svsc0a
