About Health Net
Does Health Net Cover Addiction Treatment?
Yes — Health Net provides coverage for substance use disorder treatment, including medically supervised detox, residential inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), and virtual IOP (telehealth) programs for most of its plan members. As a major health insurer with deep roots in California and a strong network nationally, Health Net provides behavioral health coverage with parity protections aligned with state and federal law.
Health Net's behavioral health benefits are managed through its subsidiary Mental Health Network (MHN) for many plan members. Whether your behavioral health claims go through Health Net directly or through MHN, Northbound's team has experience with both authorization processes. Your specific coverage depends on your plan type — HMO, PPO, or employer-sponsored — and your deductible status.
As an in-network preferred provider with Health Net, Northbound's negotiated rates significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs compared to out-of-network treatment. Northbound's admissions team contacts Health Net directly on your behalf to confirm your exact benefits — at no cost to you.
