Medicare individual plans offer worldwide emergency services with $0 copayment. This benefit has an annual maximum of $50,000.

If a member receives emergency care at an out-of-network hospital and needs inpatient care after the emergency condition is stabilized, he or she must have inpatient care at the out-of-network hospital authorized by Health Net. The cost is the cost sharing the member would pay at a network hospital.

For members who are hospitalized at an out-of-network hospital, Health Net may offer to move the member to an in-network hospital when ongoing inpatient care is indicated, however if the member refuses to be transferred, Health Net can not move the member against their will.
