During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), Health Net offered certain COVID-19 benefits at no cost. This was based on federal guidance. These enhanced benefits helped members get care during the pandemic.
The federal PHE for COVID-19 ended on May 11, 2023. Per state guidance, Health Net began resuming normal health plan benefit coverage.
Following are the most recent updates regarding COVID-19 benefit changes for our Health Net plans:
- Ambetter PPO plan out-of-network benefit changes occurred Q4 2023.
- Non-grandfathered and grandfathered Group PPO and POS plan out-of-network benefit changes were delayed and did not implement on 11/12/23. Changes will be effective 2/1/24. Impacted employer and members will be mailed letters about the update no later than 1/31/24.
