ABOUT HEALTH NET
Understanding Health Net Coverage
Health Net is a national health insurance company and a subsidiary of Centene Corporation, the same parent company behind Fidelis Care and Ambetter from Fidelis Care here in New York. Health Net is best known for its individual, family, employer-sponsored, Medi-Cal, and Medicare Advantage plans, particularly throughout California, where the company is headquartered.
If you’re a Health Net member living in or moving to Albany, NY, your behavioral health benefits travel with you. Most Health Net plans provide nationwide access to in-network and out-of-network providers, which means you can receive substance use disorder treatment at Fusion Recovery in the Capital Region, whether your plan was originally issued in California or another state.
Members previously covered through Health Net Federal Services for TRICARE West should be aware that, as of January 1, 2025, TriWest Healthcare Alliance is the contractor for the TRICARE West Region. If you have TRICARE coverage, our admissions team can verify your current TRICARE benefits and connect you with the appropriate authorization process.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Affordable Care Act, Health Net plans must cover mental health and substance use treatment at the same level as physical health services. New York State Insurance Law adds further protections for residents, including up to 28 days of inpatient substance use treatment at NY OASAS-licensed facilities for members with a primary substance use disorder diagnosis.
OVERVIEW OF HEALTH NET BENEFITS
What Health Net Covers at Fusion Recovery
Coverage details vary by plan and product line, but most Health Net plans cover a comprehensive range of addiction treatment services at Fusion Recovery.
Treatment services typically covered
- Medical detox and supervised withdrawal management
- Outpatient rehab and intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Individual, group, and family therapy
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including Sublocade and Suboxone

Coverage Details
Out-of-pocket costs, including copays, coinsurance, and your deductible, depend on your specific Health Net plan, the plan tier or product line, and whether your treatment is in-network or out-of-network. Members traveling or relocating from other states may receive coverage through national PPO networks or out-of-network benefits. Our admissions team will verify your benefits and explain exactly what to expect before you start treatment.
Preauthorization and behavioral health management
Some Health Net plans require prior authorization for medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient programs. Health Net uses evidence-based clinical criteria, including the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria, to make medical necessity decisions for substance use disorder treatment. Fusion Recovery’s admissions team handles authorizations and continued-stay reviews on your behalf so treatment isn’t delayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
01. Is Fusion Recovery in-network with Health Net?
Fusion Recovery may be in-network with Health Net plans serving members in Albany, NY, and the surrounding Capital Region. Network status varies by your specific plan and product line, particularly because Health Net’s primary network is in California and other western states. We recommend calling our admissions team at 1.866.936.2290 to verify your in-network or out-of-network benefits before starting treatment.
03. What does Health Net cover for addiction treatment?
Health Net plans typically cover the full continuum of substance use treatment, including medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), standard outpatient care, individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, dual diagnosis care, and aftercare. Specific coverage depends on your plan and product line.
05. I had TRICARE through Health Net Federal Services. Does that still work?
As of January 1, 2025, Health Net Federal Services is no longer the contractor for the TRICARE West Region. TriWest Healthcare Alliance now administers TRICARE West. If you have TRICARE coverage, our admissions team can verify your current benefits and connect you with the appropriate authorization process for your region.
07. Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?
Out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific Health Net plan, your deductible, and any copays or coinsurance under your policy. If you’re using out-of-state or out-of-network benefits, you may have higher cost-sharing. Our admissions team will verify your benefits and give you a clear picture of expected costs before treatment begins.
09. Will my employer or family find out I'm seeking treatment?
Federal law (HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2) provides strong confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records. Your employer is not notified, and Health Net cannot share your treatment details with anyone without your written authorization. Our admissions team is happy to walk you through how your privacy is protected at every step.
02. I have a Health Net plan from another state. Can I still get treatment in Albany?
In most cases, yes. Many Health Net plans provide nationwide coverage through PPO networks or out-of-network benefits. If you’ve moved to Albany or are visiting the area, our admissions team can verify your travel and out-of-state benefits and explain any cost-sharing differences before treatment begins.
04. Does Health Net cover MAT medications like Suboxone and Sublocade?
Yes. Health Net plans typically cover FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment medications, including Sublocade and Suboxone for opioid use disorder, as well as naltrexone and Vivitrol for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Some medications may require prior authorization, which our admissions team handles for you.
06. Is Health Net related to Fidelis Care?
Yes, both Health Net and Fidelis Care are subsidiaries of Centene Corporation, although they operate as distinct brands. Fidelis Care is Centene’s primary New York-focused brand, while Health Net is Centene’s California-headquartered subsidiary. They have separate networks and authorization processes.
08. Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?
Most Health Net plans don’t require a referral for substance use or mental health treatment, but some HMO plans do. Our admissions team will check the requirements for your specific plan during the verification process and help obtain any referrals or prior authorizations needed.
10. What if Health Net denies coverage for my treatment?
Don’t give up. Health Net plans typically have multiple levels of internal appeals, and our admissions and clinical teams help guide you through that process. Federal and state parity laws require insurers to cover behavioral health at the same level as medical care. New York residents can also file a complaint with the New York State Department of Financial Services at 1-800-400-8882.
