Health Net HSA Plans at a Glance

These plans qualifies as HSA-eligible.  Combining a Health Savings Account (HSA) with these Health Net HSA plans allows you to make tax-deductible contributions, pay medical expenses with pre-tax dollars, and earn tax-deferred interest.  This account works much like an IRA, except you may use your tax-free savings for qualified medical expenses your health plan does not cover, such as your deductible, contact lenses, or most types of alternative medicine (see the qualified medical expenses).  If you do not use these funds, they simply accumulate with interest, for distribution upon your retirement.

Coverage Synopsis

Health Net offers two plans to choose from:  SmartChoice HSA Plan and SimpleChoice HSA Plan.  Use the Expand button to the right to view a coverage synopsis of both plans...

SmartChoice HSA Plan

This plan covers doctor visits, prescription drugs, vision, accident benefit, and of course, hospitalization.  The deductible is waived for preventive care, including Childhood Checkups, Immunizations, Vision, Hearing exams through age 18; Annual OB/GYN exams (breast and pelvic exams, cervical cancer screening and mammography); and prostate exams, all of which are covered at 100%, after a $35 co-payment.  For adults, routine physical exams, including routine lab and X-ray services, are also covered, prior to meeting your deductible, for a co-payment of $70.

SimpleChoice HSA Plan

This plan has similar coverage to the SmartChoice HSA plan with the exception that you are covered in full for most services after the deductible has been met (doctor's visits, annual routine physical exams, x-ray and laboratory procedures, outpatient surgery, hospitalization, etc.).  Adult preventive care such as annual OB/GYN exams (breast and pelvic exams, pap smears and mammography), yearly prostate cancer screening and exam are covered at $100%, after a $40 co-payment and the deductible is waived.  The deductible is also waived after a $40 co-payment for Child Preventive Care such as checkups, immunizations, vision and hearing exams.

Both these plans qualify as HSA-eligible.  Combining a Health Savings Account with any Health Net HSA plan allows you to make tax-deductible contributions, pay medical expenses with pre-tax dollars, and earn tax-deferred interest.  This account works much like an IRA, except you may use your tax-free savings for qualified medical expenses your health plan does not cover, such as your deductible, dental, eyewear, and most types of alternative medicine (see the HSA qualified medical expenses page).  If you do not use these funds, they are always yours and continue to grow tax-deferred.

Please view the Simple Choice HSA and Smart Choice HSA plans brochure for complete details including Plan Provisions, Limitations & Exclusions, and State Variation information.  You can view the brochures by running an instant quote and selecting the plan you are interested in.

Rate Information

Rates vary based upon zip code, age, and effective date.  Please run an instant quote to see available rates.  Your first month's premium must be submitted at the time you apply, and can be paid via check or credit card.  Subsequent payments can be paid by credit card or automatic monthly bank draft. 

Health Net PPO Network

Health Net has an excellent network of health care providers throughout the state.  The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at their online network listings

Underwriting

Health Net has a very fast, efficient underwriting process, especially if no medical records are needed.  While it is always a good idea to apply at least three to four weeks prior to the time you need your new coverage to take effect, some applications are approved in less than a week.  If medical records are needed, you may have to reapply, and include medical records.

The company does have the right to accept or decline any individual or family application.  Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider.  If you are currently being treated for depression, anxiety, or high cholesterol, please let us know before you apply so we can avoid unnecessary delays in getting you covered.

Effective Dates

The coverage can go into effect in as quickly as the day your application is approved.  You may request an effective date any time the date after you sign the application and 60 days later.  Please note that you will be billed starting on your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that you have been approved.  This is very good for someone who does not have any present coverage and would like for their benefits to begin as quickly as possible. 

For those who are already covered, it is suggested that you maintain your current coverage in force until you have received notice from either HSA for America or directly from Health Net that your coverage has been approved and is in force.

HSA Administrators

Health Net has partnered with Bank of America as their HSA administrator.  Benefits include no setup fees, no minimum deposit required, a low monthly fee of $3.95 per account, online account management and bill pay, and a Bank of America visa debit card.

Your health savings account is totally separate from your health insurance, and you may use any approved bank or trustee as your HSA administrator.  We recommend that you choose one from our HSA administrator page, where you can compare rates and features.
