What to do
Action · 3 steps
01Before February 28, 2027: Billing team must monitor Health Net's dedicated provider resource page (to be developed) for critical updates on claims submission, payment and runout processes, authorization and referral requirements, and member continuity of care procedures.
02Assign a team member to subscribe to Health Net provider communications and track important deadlines and operational process updates.
