With the kick-off of the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) this week, Health Net, Inc. (NYSE:HNT) reminds those eligible for Medicare that Health Net’s Medicare Advantage (MA) product portfolio offers a comprehensive range of budget-friendly health plan choices to beneficiaries for 2010.
“The current challenging economic conditions make it the right time for Medicare beneficiaries to join one of Health Net’s Medicare Advantage plans because of the cost savings and value they offer,” said Scott Kelly, chief Medicare officer of Health Net, Inc. “We want them to know that they can count on Health Net to provide them with quality health care benefits with low predictable costs.”
Salud con Health Net Medicare Advantage HMO (Salud Medicare)
In California, Health Net launched Salud Medicare, the first-of-its-kind Medicare Advantage HMO plan targeting Latino seniors. With this plan, Latino seniors and other Medicare eligibles can count on quality, affordable care from a network of culturally sensitive health care providers who are Latino or are trained and experienced in providing medical care that recognizes the special needs of Latinos.
Building on Health Net’s popular suite of Salud con Health Net products currently available to employers and individuals, this new, comprehensive medical and prescription drug plan is offered in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino.

These plans are designed to support the American Heart Association’s heart healthy lifestyle and include comprehensive medical and prescription drug coverage, plus health essentials to help members avoid tobacco use; manage stress, blood pressure and high cholesterol; and promote nutrition, weight management and physical activity. As with all Health Net Medicare products, these plans also include access to Decision PowerSM, Health Net’s program of online and on-call support and resources to directly involve members with their doctors in making health care and healthy lifestyle decisions.
