Summary
Health Net and Community Health Plan of Imperial Valley will assess participating physician groups (PPGs) for network adequacy from July-September 2026 under new DHCS requirements. PPGs must register for webinars, review their provider networks for accuracy, and ensure they meet provider-to-member ratios and access standards or face corrective action plans and potential network eligibility risks.
Action Required
By June 23 or 25, 2026: PPGs must register for mandatory webinars at 1 p.m. Pacific time. Before July 2026: Review and confirm all provider data is accurate including provider types (adult/pediatric), patient age ranges, and roster information. Verify network meets provider-to-member ratios and time/distance access standards. Contact Plan Provider Engagement network specialist with questions. Failure to meet standards may result in corrective action plans or loss of network participating eligibility.
