Summary
Health Net has issued guidance for providers on suicide prevention and substance use disorder recovery support, establishing protocols for screening, assessment, intervention and referral. This is primarily educational guidance with resources rather than billing-specific changes.
Action Required
Immediately: Review suicide prevention protocols and ensure staff are trained on screening and intervention procedures. Consider implementing SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment) approach for substance use disorders. Update referral processes to include MHN Services at 1-844-966-0298 for behavioral health needs and share patient resources including National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and myStrength program.
