Summary
Health Net clarified penalty payments under California AB 3275 effective January 1, 2026. If Health Net fails to pay required interest on late-paid claims, they must pay an additional penalty fee of $15 or 10% of accrued interest (whichever is greater). This penalty only applies when interest is not automatically paid, not simply for late claim payments.
Action Required
By January 1, 2026: Billing team should monitor Health Net claim payments to ensure interest payments are included on any late-paid claims. If interest is missing, contact Health Net Provider Services to request both the interest payment and the required penalty fee ($15 or 10% of accrued interest, whichever is greater). Update accounts receivable tracking to flag late Health Net payments for interest verification.
