  • Participating Physician Groups (PPG)
  • Hospitals

The Provider Participation Agreements (PPAs) include a statement that providers can communicate freely with members regarding their medical conditions and treatment alternatives, including medication treatment options, regardless of coverage limitations. Providers' contracts and subcontracts are required to include this provision.

Additionally, Health Net may not prohibit or otherwise restrict a health care professional, acting within the lawful scope of practice, from advising, or advocating on behalf of, an individual who is a patient and enrolled under a Health Net plan.
