2017 Health Net IFP
Health Net will be offering the same plans in 2017 as they did in 2016. PPO plans will continue to be offered only off-exchange, not through Covered California.
Health Net 2017 Plans by California Regions
All EPO plan members must select a Primary Care Physician or one will be assigned to them in 2017.
Services obtained from a Non-Preferred or Preferred provider outside of California through the First Health Network will no longer be covered. Only out-of-state urgent care and emergency services will be treated as in-network provider cost shares.
EPO vs HSP
Health Net offers both an EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) and a HSP (Healthcare Service Plan). They are essentially the same type of health plan. The HSP require a member to list a Primary Care Physician like an HMO. For the EPO, the PCP designation was optional until 2017. More important to Health Net is that the HSP products are listed and regulated by the Department of Managed Health Care, while the EPOs are regulated by the California Department of Insurance, according to Health Net.

Disclosures and Outline of Coverage
Health Net encapsulates all the different metal tiers they offer within a plan type (EPO, HMO, PPO, etc.) in one Disclosures and Outline of Coverage documents. There are two plan types offered through Covered California and two offered Off-Exchange directly from Health Net.

Health Net IFP 2015
Health Net will discontinue offering any PPO plans through Covered California in 2015. In Northern California the PPO plans will be replaced with an EPO. If you would like to keep your PPO plan, you will have to enroll in the PPO off-exchange. There will be no subsidies to reduce the monthly premium. The Off-Exchange menu tab will have a Health Net link to get a quote for the off-exchange EPO, HMO, HSP, and PPO plans. In Southern California the PPO Bronze and Minimum Coverage plans will be replaced with a HSP. See: The differences between EPO, HSP, HMO, PPO.
- HSP: Health Service Plans only be available in Bronze and Minimum Coverage through CoveredCa in Southern California.
- EPO: Exclusive Provider Network will be available in all metal tier levels in Northern California.
- HMO: Health Maintenance Organizations will be offered in the Silver through Platinum tier levels in Southern California.
On-Exchange Covered California
For 2015 Health Net will offer three plan types: Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPO), Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) and a new Health Service Plan (HSP). All plans On and Off the exchange include pediatric dental and vision administered Dental Benefit Providers of California and Eyemed Vision respectively.
Northern California EPO
The EPO plan replaces the PPO plans in all metal tier levels in Northern California. The EPO will use the PureCare One provider network. A three tier drug formulary will be employed. The major diffence between an EPO and a PPO is that there is no out-of-network coverage. However, the summary of benefits notes out in-network copayments and coinsurance will not apply to out-of-network services.
Southern California Community Care HMO and HSP
The HMO and HSP plans will use the Essntial Rx Drug List. The provider network for the HMO is called Community Care and PureCare for the HSP. HSPs will only be offered for Minimum Essential or Catastrophic plans in Southern California through Covered California. The HSP will be available in Silver through Platinum Off-exchange.
PPO Off-Exchange
Individuals and families can enroll in all of Health Net’s plans Off-Exchange. In Southern California Health Service Plans will be available from Minimum to Platinum. The HMO plans will still only be offered in Silver through Platinum. The PPO plans will only be offered Off-Exchange. EPO plans can also be purchased Off-Exchange. Health Net Off-Exchange plans had a larger network of providers in 2014 than their On-Exchange plans.
Network exclusions
These conditions and exclusions to health plans and networks come from inquiries with Health Net customer service staff. Until Health Net releases their Evidence of Coverage for the 2015, they can’t be completely verified.
- The EPO PureCare One network is separate from the PureCare HSP network. A member of an EPO can’t see a provider in the HSP network as in-network. The same is true of HSP members visiting and EPO network provider.
- EPO and HSP members can see network provider in another region if the provider is within 30 miles of the member’s residence. For example, an HSP member in Northern Los Angeles County (Region 15) can see a provider in Southern Los Angeles County (Region 16) as long as the distance is no greater than 30 miles. Otherwise, the provider will be considered out-of-network. This condition was verbally given to me and another consumer over the phone.
- There will be no roll-over of monies paid toward the deductible or maximum out of pocket amounts (MOOP) between EPO, HSP or PPO plans. In other words, if a family enrolls in a PPO plan in January and then switches to an EPO plan in March, any health care dollars they paid toward meeting their deductible or MOOP will not be attributed to the new plan. A new plan resets the deductible and MOOP. Again, this information was from a Health Net customer service representative.

Health Net 2014
Health Net will not be offering individual and family plans to a large swaths of northern, eastern, southern, or central coast counties in California in 2014. They will be offering PPO plans in the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay areas. In Southern California they will be offering both PPO and HMO plans. California is broken into 19 different pricing and plan regions. Some regions encompass multiple counties and others are just one county.
Health Net Community Care HMO plans
Health Net will only offer their “Community Care” HMO plans in L.A., Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties either through Covered California or “Off Marketplace”. They will not have a Bronze HMO, only Silver, Gold and Platinum. Health Net PPO Silver, Gold and Platinum plans will not be available in the counties of L.A., Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino or San Diego, but they will be offered outside of the exchange in those counties.
Children’s Dental
Initially, Health Net was to offer the children’s or pediatric dental coverage bundled with all their plans through Covered California. Changes within Covered California have forced them to drop the bundled pediatric dental from the exchange plans. Families that select a Health Net health plan will have to purchase a stand alone pediatric dental plan for children 18 and under.
Bundled Pediatric Dental
Health Net will continue to offer the bundled children’s dental coverage in their plans sold outside of the exchange or off-market. The pediatric dental will be a PPO plan and the parents or guardians will be able to find a local dentist through the provider search on the Health Net website. (Hint: from Provider Search select Ancillary Benefits. The dentist search is run through an outside website so look for a link called Optum on the bottom of the page. Clicking the link will take you to the dental provider search system.)
Family Dental and Vision
Families will also be able to purchase an inexpensive dental and vision plan for approximately $16.46 per adult. The dental plan is an HMO which can tend to have a light network of participating dentists but generally has low copayments for services. If the dental and vision plan is chosen, it must be purchased for all the adults on the application.

Evidence of Coverage Documents
There are two types of Evidence of Coverage documents; one set for plans sold through Covered California, on exchange, and those for plans of Off Exchange or purchased directly from Health Net. One of the primary differences is that the on exchange plans do not include Pediatric Dental which was sold separately on Covered California. EX denotes Exchange or Covered California.
