The following information does not apply to Individual Family Plan (IFP) members.

PPO members may seek care at any time from any PPO participating behavioral health or substance abuse specialist. Physicians may also decide that it is necessary for a member to receive treatment from a behavioral health or substance abuse specialist and should refer the member to a participating specialist when possible. Prior authorization is not required for outpatient professional services. To determine whether a behavioral health or substance abuse specialist is a PPO participating provider, physicians can call the Health Net Provider Services Department .
