Appeals Procedures for your Employer-Sponsored Benefits

There is a special type of Appeal that applies only to Employer-Sponsored Benefits. Employer-Sponsored Benefits are covered benefits that are beyond the basic Medicare-covered benefits or Part D Drug benefits.

This section explains what you can do if you have problems getting Employer-Sponsored Benefits you believe we should provide.

If you disagree with our initial decision about your care or paying for your care, you may ask us to reconsider our decision. This is called an "Appeal." You can file the Appeal by calling Health Net Member Services Department at 1-800-275-4737 (TTY: 711) 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday-Friday or by sending information to:

Health Net Appeals & Grievances Medicare Operations
PO Box 10450
Van Nuys, CA 91410-0450

We will:

  • Review your complaint and inform you of our decision in writing within 30 days from the receipt of the Appeal. For conditions where there is an immediate and serious threat to your health, including severe Pain, or the potential for loss of life, limb or major bodily function exists, we must notify you of the status of your grievance no later than three days from receipt of the grievance.
  • Inform you if additional time is necessary to complete our investigation.

You must file your Appeal with Health Net within 365 calendar days after we notify you of the Initial Decision. Please include all information from your Health Net Identification Card and the details of the concern or problem. After reviewing your Appeal, we will decide whether to stay with our original decision, or change this decision and give you some or all of the care or payment you want.

Review of your request by an Independent Review Organization

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your above Appeal, you can request for an independent review organization to review your case. This organization will review your request and make a decision about whether we must give you the care or payment you want. You may call Health Net Member Services Department at 1-800-275-4737 (TTY: 711) 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday - Friday to request the independent review or by sending the request to:

Health Net Attn: Medicare Appeals & Grievances Department
PO Box 10450
Van Nuys, CA 91410-0450

The review is conducted by an independent Physician reviewer with appropriate expertise in the area of medicine in question who has no connection to us. The independent review organization will provide its decision within 30 days after receiving the request for review and the supporting documents. If there is an immediate and serious threat to your health, an expedited review will be completed within 72 hours, or sooner if medically indicated.

Binding Arbitration

If you continue to be dissatisfied after the independent review process listed above has been completed, you may then initiate binding arbitration as described in the "Legal Notices" section of the Evidence of Coverage. Binding arbitration is generally the final process to resolve disputes concerning Employer-Sponsored Benefits.
