Go to the Provider Library to view the current listing

The list of National Cancer Institute (NCI) and NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) designated cancer centers shared in provider update 23-026, Help Medi-Cal Members With Complex Cancer Access Critical Care, distributed on January 3, 2023, has been updated.

Referrals for treatment

When referring a member for hard-to-treat cancer, make sure you have the most current information. The list of NCI and NCORP contracted entities has been updated by adding more centers. It is available in the Provider Library.

If Health Net is unsuccessful with referring a member diagnosed with a complex cancer to an NCI/NCORP cancer center, then Health Net shall allow a member to request a referral to receive medically necessary services through a local network cancer treatment center or an out-of-network facility, unless the member chooses an in-network provider outside of the county.
