Health Net Plans We Accept

In general, Health Net offers a much broader range of plan types than many other insurers, which means your coverage options depend on the specific plan you’re covered by. The following are some of the plans offered.

Health Net PPO Plans

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans give you the freedom to seek out care outside Health Net’s preferred network of providers without a referral. This makes it one of the most flexible options for Health Net-based rehab coverage in Orange County and beyond.

Additionally, out-of-network benefits usually apply to this plan as well. In other words, treatment at A Better Life Recovery is typically accessible even if we aren’t listed as a primary preferred provider on your plan.

Health Net HMO Plans

A Health Maintenance Organization plan, or HMO, ties you to a pre-defined network of providers and requires a referral to access any specialized care.¹ Coverage for outside facilities can vary, although certain circumstances still might allow you to access out-of-network benefits – such as when the established network can’t meet your current clinical needs.

Health Net POS Plans

A Point-of-Service (POS) plan routes through a primary care doctor who coordinates your referrals for treatment. However, unlike a standard HMO plan, this also allows you to go outside the network when necessary. This additional flexibility can open up addiction treatment coverage options that another stricter plan type may not allow for.

Health Net EPO Plans

An Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) basically takes the advantages of an HMO plan and expands the choice of providers a bit. However, it usually doesn’t extend to out-of-network benefits in the same way a PPO does. Let our verification team explain your benefits to make sure you understand exactly what’s included in your plan.

Employer-Sponsored Health Net Plans

Employer-sponsored plans can run the gamut of coverage options, largely based on what your company negotiated with Health Net. It’s definitely worth a look at your policy documents to see what you’re working with – and give us a call to let us do the heavy lifting for you.

Health Net Covered California Plans

Health Net also participates in California’s health insurance marketplace, and Covered California rehab plans must include addiction treatment as an essential health benefit by law. How much your plan will cover depends on the tier level – Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum – you’re enrolled in.

Health Net Medicare Advantage Plans

A Medicare Advantage plan through Health Net combines Medicare-established benefits with Health Net’s managed care network. As such, mental health coverage and addiction treatment benefits may be included for eligible members, although the specifics will likely vary between plans.

Health Net Medi-Cal Managed Care

Health Net also administers state Medi-Cal managed care in some California counties, providing health coverage for those who qualify. The coverage under these plans depends on several factors, and not all Medi-Cal arrangements will apply to treatment at ABLR.

Our admissions team can work with you to clarify if your specific plan is one we’re able to work with.

About Health Net Insurance

Health Net is one of California’s largest and most established health insurance companies, with deep roots in the state’s healthcare network.² The insurer was actually founded in the Golden State, which means its networks, plans, and provider relationships are uniquely oriented around California’s diverse communities.

The company operates as a subsidiary of Centene Corporation, one of the largest managed care organizations in the nation. They offer commercial, Medicare, and Medi-Cal plans, giving them one of the widest coverage spans of any insurer in the state.

What Does Health Net Cover for Addiction Treatment?

The national Mental Health Parity Act requires Health Net and all other insurance providers to cover addiction treatment to the same level as any other medical condition.³ As a result, Health Net detox coverage can include the full scope of medically supervised detoxification, including monitoring, active withdrawal management, and around-the-clock clinical intervention as needed.

Medication-assisted treatment is included as well, using FDA-approved medications to address the physical challenges of addiction during its early stages (and on an ongoing basis). Medical evaluations, psychiatric assessments, and ongoing medication management appointments are also included on the medical side.

As for the Health Net behavioral health side of coverage, inpatient rehab – including room, board, and the daily treatment programming that makes residential care effective – is usually included, alongside individual, group, and family therapy.

Dual diagnosis issues are also typically covered for treatment, as conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma often co-occur with drug or alcohol addiction.⁴ Treating these dual diagnoses in parallel with tested approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) can provide much more robust treatment outcomes than leaving them unaddressed.

How to Verify Your Health Net Coverage

Insurance shouldn’t ever get in the way of you or your loved one accessing treatment. Our verification process is simple, fast, and free. The following is an overview of the steps you can take:

Step 1: Reach Out Anytime

You can contact our admissions team directly at (866) 278-8804, or fill out our online insurance verification form whenever works best for you. We’re available around the clock, seven days per week.

Step 2: Gather Your Health Net Plan Details

To verify Health Net insurance for rehab as quickly as possible, make sure you have access to your Health Net member ID number, group number, the policyholder’s name and date of birth, and your plan type before calling.

Step 3: Let Us Contact Health Net For You

Once we have your information, we’ll contact Health Net directly to determine your coverage levels and get you a clear picture of your out-of-pocket costs. The whole process usually takes half an hour or less.

From there, we’ll break down your Health Net rehab coverage in plain language. This includes what your deductible looks like, any applicable copays and co-insurance, and what you can realistically expect to pay.

Understanding Your Health Net Benefits

Unfortunately, insurance terminology has a way of making straightforward concepts feel unnecessarily complex. Let A Better Life Recovery help you make sense of it all when it comes to your Health Net insurance coverage.

The following are overviews of the different terms you might encounter when trying to understand your coverage.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

Health Net’s network includes both providers and facilities that have agreed to negotiate their rates directly with the company. This means your share of the costs is usually lower when staying with these agreed-upon entities.

However, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with these options – many Health Net PPO and other rehab plans have out-of-network benefits, and ABLR works with both arrangements.

Deductible

Your deductible is the amount of money you pay out of your own pocket each year before the insurance company begins sharing the costs of your care. If you’ve already put a dent in your yearly deductible with other medical expenses, your Health Net rehab coverage might kick in sooner than you might expect.

Copay

A copy is a set dollar amount you’ll pay for a particular service, such as a therapy session or a doctor’s appointment. This amount changes depending on your plan and the type of service you’re attending, and copays typically apply after your deductible has been met.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The out-of-pocket maximum is the highest amount of money you’ll pay in any given year. Once you hit this limit, Health Net covers 100% of covered services for the rest of that year.

Prior Authorizations

Some substance misuse treatment services require something known as “prior authorizations”, or a formal approval process that must be completed before services can begin. Let our admissions team handle the whole process for you, paving the way to access addiction and dual diagnosis care as soon as possible.

Treatment Services Covered by Health Net

Your Health Net rehab coverage can apply across the full range of services provided at A Better Life Recovery, from your first day through the later stages of the treatment phase.

Here are some examples of our services covered by Health Net insurance:

Medical detox for drugs and alcohol: Our clinical team supervises each phase of the detoxification process, managing your withdrawal symptoms and adjusting care as needed to keep you safe and comfortable.
Residential/inpatient treatment: This involves 24/7 care in a supportive environment where recovery is your only focus, without outside pressures, distractions, or temptations.
High-quality dual diagnosis care: Addiction and mental health can feed into one another, so our dual diagnosis program addresses each at the same time. This involves a unified treatment plan custom-built around the full picture of your health.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Suboxone and Vivitrol are among the Food and Drug Administration-approved medications we use to reduce cravings and ease the physical burden of the recovery process.
Individual, group, and family therapy: ABLR provides you with a mix of therapeutic formats that help you address recovery in a deeply personal way, adding in peer support and involving the relationships that matter to you most.
Evidence-based care: CBT, DBT, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are among the clinically-validated approaches our clinicians use to help you gain new insights and tools for active, long-term recovery.
Psychiatric care and medication management services: For those who have underlying mental health needs, our psychiatric practitioners provide ongoing evaluation and medication management throughout your entire course of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Health Net Coverage

If you’re considering using Health Net insurance coverage for addiction treatment, you may still have some questions after the information provided on this page. To help make coverage as clear as possible, we’ve provided the following answers to questions we commonly receive.

Does Health Net Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Yes, the Mental Health Parity Act obligates Health Net and other providers to treat addiction the same as any other physical health condition. The specifics of their coverage depend on your health insurance plan, so let us help you figure it out with a free, confidential insurance verification.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With Health Net?

What you’ll end up paying depends on a combination of several moving parts: your deductible, your coinsurance rate, whether you’re accessing treatment in-network or out-of-network, and where you are in the plan year.

While there’s no way to give a number without looking at your plan, we’d love to help you find out all the particulars and get started. Give our team a call and let us help you do the research to find out what you’re looking at.

Does Health Net Covered California Cover Rehab?

Any plan purchased through California’s state insurance marketplace is federally mandated by law to include addiction treatment as an essential health benefit. Coverage applies to both mental health and substance misuse treatment, though the particulars are likely different depending on the nature and level of your selected plan.

Does A Better Life Recovery Accept Health Net HMO Plans?

We accept many Health Net HMO-based plans, though it also depends on your specific plan details rather than the plan type alone. Health Net PPO plans generally offer more flexibility for receiving care at outside facilities, but this doesn’t mean HMO coverage won’t work. Give us a call and let us find out what’s possible within your coverage.

Will My Employer Know I Used Health Net for Rehab?

Absolutely not – federal regulations protect your privacy in several ways. When an insurance claim is processed, it only indicates that behavioral health services were received and nothing more. The nature of your treatment, the facility you attended, and the duration of your stay are all kept confidential from your employer.

Choosing to get help is ultimately a personal decision, and federal laws exist to make sure that it stays that way.
