HN #Network Definitions
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO):A type of health plan where you pay less if you use providers in the plan’s network. You can use doctors, hospitals, and providers outside of the network without a referral for an additional cost.
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO):A type of health insurance plan that usually limits coverage to care from doctors who work for or contract with the HMO. It generally won’t cover out-of-network care except in an emergency. An HMO may require you to live or work in its service area to be eligible for coverage. HMOs often provide integrated care and focus on prevention and wellness.

- Plans that don’t seem to be offered for 2023 Individual & Family
- Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO):A managed care plan where services are covered only if you use doctors, specialists, or hospitals in the plan’s network (except in an emergency).
- In the United States, an exclusive provider organization is a hybrid health insurance plan in which a primary care provider is not necessary, but in which health care providers must be seen within a predetermined network. Out of network care is not provided, and visits require pre-authorization. Doctors are paid as a function of care provided, as opposed to an HMO. In an EPO, the payment scheme is usually fee for service, in contrast to HMOs. In the latter, the healthcare provider is paid by capitation, and receives a monthly fee regardless of whether or not the patient is seen.[1] healthcare.gov/exclusive-provider-organization-epo-plan/ healthcare.gov/plan-types/
- Point of Service (POS):A type of plan where you pay less if you use doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers that belong to the plan’s network. POS plans require you to get a referral from your primary care doctor in order to see a specialist.
- A Health care service plan (HSP) Pure Care Network in Southern California (on- and off-exchange).
- Health Care Service Plan (HSP) is a benefit plan using health care provider arrangement whereby an entity, such as Health Net, contracts with a group of Physicians or other medical care providers, called Participating Providers, who agree to furnish services at the negotiated rate known as the Contracted Rate. Bronze EOC Page 119
- Health Net PureCare HSP Service Area is the geographic area in California where Health Net has been authorized by the California Department of Managed Health Care to contract with providers, market products, enroll Members and provide benefits through approved Individual HSP health plans.

Further clarification from Oscar:
- Our Doctor on Call benefit is on all Oscar plans and include Oscar physicians that are board certified in your state.
- These physicians are not specialists, they generally are listed as Internal Medicine, Primary Care, etc.
- These doctors are not found on our website because there is no way to visit/select which doctor you speak to.
- The physicians often service multiple states, as they are generally certified in multiple.
- Personally, when I used the Doctor on Call benefit (at 11 pm) the doctor called me within 10 minutes.
- If I called again today I would likely be speaking to a different physician.
- I checked with Oscar circa 4.4.2019 and their Tel Med is just for an initial visit. Check our Coronavirus page for updates on that.

- AB 744 - TeleHealth
- AB 744 will require contracts issued, amended or renewed after January 1, 2021 between a health care service plan and a health care provider to specify that the provider who delivers services appropriately through telehealth be reimbursed on the same basis and to the same extent that the plan would have had the same service been provided in-person. The health plan cannot require the use of telehealth if the health care provider has determined that it is not appropriate nor does it limit the ability of the health plan and provider to negotiate the rate of reimbursement for a service.

- LA Times on Tele Med 8.2018
-
telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Technologies include videoconferencing, the internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial and wireless communications.
-
Telehealth is different from telemedicine because it refers to a broader scope of remote healthcare services than telemedicine. While telemedicine refers specifically to remote clinical services, telehealth can refer to remote non-clinical services, such as provider training, administrative meetings, and continuing medical education, in addition to clinical services.

Reminder: Health Net Changes for Plan Year 2023
Starting January 1, 2023, Health Net Life Insurance Company will no longer offer its Individual & Family Ambetter PPO and EPO plans through Covered California. In addition, Health Net of California will no longer offer its Ambetter HSP plans through Covered California – Health Net of California will remain on the exchange and will offer replacement plans as applicable.
Impacted households were sent a notice with information about 2023 coverage and instructions for updating their Covered California application and selecting a new plan. Eligible members will be automatically enrolled into a similar Health Net of California plan within the same metal tier – Health Net Life PPO members will be automatically enrolled into the Health Net of California PPO plan. If a Health Net of California plan is not available, then the lowest cost, most similar plan with another issuer in their area will be chosen; EPO members will be moved to a different issuer in the member’s area.
You can choose to enroll in a different plan by December 31 for a January 1 start date. Impacted consumers may also qualify for a 60-day Special Enrollment Period (SEP) due to loss of coverage. The SEP ends on March 1, 2023. If consumers don’t enroll in a new plan by that date, they will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period to get health coverage – unless they experience a Qualifying Life Event.

Thank you so much for all of your assistance. Happy holidays
Does Health Net offer plans for individuals that include PPO reimbursements when seeing doctors/hospitals/etc even if I go to those who aren’t part of the Health Net plan.
For example, my psychologist is not affiliated with any plan, but in the past some percentage was still covered by insurance.
Yes. IMHO the best way to find PPO plans would be to use either Health Net’s Quote and Enrollment Engine shown above or our Quotit Engine that gives you quotes from all companies
