Summary
HealthNet California is offering a limited-time incentive of $70 per eligible eConsult submitted through ConferMED through October 1, 2026. Primary care physicians can earn quarterly payments by integrating eConsults into their workflow to improve specialist access and reduce referral delays. Practices must ensure current W-9 forms are on file with Provider Engagement to receive payments.
Action Required
By October 1, 2026: Primary care providers and billing staff should identify and track all eligible eConsults submitted through ConferMED to ensure proper billing and payment receipt. Verify that current W-9 forms are on file with Provider Engagement before submitting claims for the $70 per eConsult incentive. Ensure billing system and EMR are configured to capture, bill, and report eConsult submissions quarterly. Providers interested in participating should contact Denise Miller for setup and integration assistance. Failure to have valid W-9 on file will delay or prevent payment of the $70 incentive per eConsult.
