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.

Consumers 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.

Stay cool during the highest temperatures of the day
• Drink a lot of water and fluids to help your body cool down and replenish what you’ve lost through sweat.
• Avoid strenuous activity during the highest temperatures. Sweating removes salt and minerals that your body needs.
• Check on your family and friends. If you know someone vulnerable to the extreme heat, check in on them and keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. You can learn more about the symptoms of heat-related illness and be prepared.
• Go to a cooling center if you need to cool off. You can find cooling centers in your area here.

Conserve energy to reduce pressure on the power grid
• Pre-cool your house by running the air conditioning in the morning and keep doors, windows and blinds closed.
• From 4 to 9 p.m., turn your thermostats to 78 or higher and avoid using appliances.
