Summary
Health Net is partnering with Zelis effective April 1, 2026, requiring providers to enroll in electronic payment methods (Zelis or Health Net ePayment Center) to continue receiving electronic claim payments. Providers who don't enroll will automatically revert to paper checks after April 1, 2026.
Action Required
Before April 1, 2026: Billing team must enroll in electronic payment method to avoid reverting to paper checks. Choose either Zelis payments (call 855-496-1571) or Health Net ePayment Center (call 855-774-4392). Providers already enrolled with Zelis payments on ZAPP Edge require no action. Failure to enroll will result in receiving paper checks instead of electronic payments.
