Health Net Offers Reminder for COBRA Beneficiaries in California

Health Net said that it reminds those with health insurance benefits through COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) that they have through July 15, to enroll in a Covered California policy.

Covered California, the state's new health insurance marketplace, created a special-enrollment period (SEP) to give COBRA enrollees extra time to enroll for a marketplace policy, the Company noted in its release.

"People now covered by COBRA may find comparable coverage at a lower price on Covered California," said Jennifer A. Moore, Health Net vice president of Individual Market and Health Care Exchanges.

Moore added that, as a participating Covered California health plan in most California counties, Health Net offers affordable marketplace policies that provide access to quality care. And she said Health Net encourages insurance shoppers to use the services of a health insurance broker, if they have one. Or they may call Health Net for assistance at 1-877-618-3870 (TTY: 1-800-995-0852) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Health Net is a publicly traded managed care organization that delivers managed health care services through health plans and government-sponsored managed care plans.
