What Does Health Net Cover for Addiction Treatment?
Health Net provides coverage for substance use disorder treatment as part of its behavioral health benefits. Under federal law — specifically the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the Affordable Care Act — Health Net is required to cover addiction treatment at the same level as other medical conditions.
This means your Health Net plan covers multiple levels of care, from initial detox through long-term outpatient support. The specific costs, referral requirements, and network restrictions depend on your plan type — see the plan comparison below.
