Health Net Shines Greater Focus on Affordability MarketWatch (press release)
"Our cost-efficient networks and plans provide employers with a greater range of choice and greater value," said Steven Sell, president of Health Net, Inc.'s Western Region Health Plan. "Our partnerships with health care providers allow us to continue championing the kinds of solutions that can help employers survive today's persistently murky economy."
Value-oriented networks like the Silver and Bronze networks consist of health care providers who provide quality care at costs that can be significantly less than the full statewide network average. Since less cost means less pressure on premiums, the amount that employers pay for value-oriented network products can be substantially less than for the full statewide network.
Health Net's Silver HMO Network
Health Net's Silver HMO network now is available to members with employer-sponsored coverage and who live or work in Santa Clara or Stanislaus counties. The Silver HMO network already is established in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, Riverside, Ventura and San Francisco counties. With the addition of Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties, the network consists of nearly 21,000 primary care physicians and specialists in all 10 counties.
