Summary
Health Net California has expanded notification requirements for Participating Provider Groups (PPGs) and hospitals, requiring immediate notification when any type of network termination is planned or anticipated. This includes new termination types like partial service line loss, non-renewals, and constructive terminations, with compliance required by January 1, 2026.
Action Required
Before January 1, 2026: If your practice is a PPG or hospital in Imperial County, establish procedures to immediately notify your assigned Provider Network Management contact when any network termination is planned or anticipated. Include termination notice, effective date, continuity of care approach, impacted members, and scope of termination. Late or incomplete submissions will result in corrective action and impact delegation status.
