Health Net Highlights: Competitive Rates, Nationwide Network, and Simplified Underwriting
There’s never been a better time to quote and sell Health Net! Their consistent pricing, new out-of-state provider network, and simplified underwriting are just some of the great reasons to work with Health Net.
1. Competitive Plans & Rates
Health Net’s pricing stability has them positioned as the one of the most competitive carriers throughout California in Q1 2024. Health Net has had extremely consistent pricing over the last few years:
- HMO: 0.7% average quarterly rate change since Q1 2021
- PPO: 0.3% average quarterly rate change since Q1 2021
You’ll see Health Net more often than any other carrier on our Q1 2024 Most Competitive Plans by Region (PDF). They are competitive in almost all regions and plan designs, especially on Platinum PPOs, Gold HSAs, and Silver HSAs.
2. New Out-of-State Network
The Cigna Healthcare PPO Network is Health Net’s new provider network outside of California for Health Net PPO plans with out-of-state coverage. This change went into effect on November 1, 2023, so all current and new eligible Health Net groups have access to this network.
