What is Health Net?
Health Net of California is one of the largest health insurers in California, serving more than 3 million members through a network of approximately 90,000 providers across the state. Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Woodland Hills (the same neighborhood as The Villa), Health Net has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation since 2016.
Plans are offered through employers (group coverage), the Covered California marketplace (Ambetter by Health Net brand), and Medicare and Medi-Cal programs.
Behavioral health benefits, including substance use and mental health treatment, are part of standard Health Net coverage under federal parity requirements (MHPAEA) and California’s parity law (SB 855), which mandates that mental health and substance use benefits be at least equal to medical and surgical benefits in coverage scope. Villa accepts members from Health Net-branded plans.
Health Net, MHN, and Centene: how do they relate?
Three names, one ecosystem. Members often see different brand names on different paperwork (Health Net on the member ID card, MHN on behavioral health correspondence, Centene on corporate filings), which causes confusion. The good news: Villa accepts members across all three.
- Health Net: the main consumer-facing insurance brand. Most member ID cards say Health Net. Founded 1979, headquartered in Woodland Hills, CA.
- MHN (Managed Health Network): a Health Net company focused on behavioral health programs and member services. You may see the MHN name on plan paperwork or member resources for some Health Net plans. Villa works with the relevant Health Net entity directly.
- Centene Corporation: the parent company of Health Net (since 2016) and one of the largest managed care companies in the United States. Centene operates Health Net, MHN, and several other plan brands across multiple states.
If your member ID card says Health Net or MHN, your benefits are part of the same family covered by this page. Verification confirms what your plan covers and any other costs. To know more, call us at (818) 639-7160.

Where additional steps may apply:

How To Verify Health Net Coverage At The Villa
Verification at The Villa takes 15 minutes by phone or 24 hours by online form. You’ll need three things to get started:
- Your member ID number, from the front of your Health Net or MHN card (either works; the Member ID is the same)
- Your date of birth, for benefit verification
- The policyholder’s name, if the policy is in someone else’s name (spouse, parent, employer-sponsored)
After verification, admissions walks through what your plan covers, any other costs, and the next steps in the admissions process. Same-week intakes are usually available across all levels of care
How Health Net Members Typically Pay For Rehab
Three financial pathways apply to most Health Net members researching treatment at Villa. Verification walks through which apply to your situation.
- Use your insurance benefits. Most Health Net commercial plans cover addiction treatment under the behavioral health benefit, and Villa accepts members from Health Net-branded plans, including employer-sponsored and Ambetter by Health Net plans. Our admissions team handles prior authorization, claims, and carrier coordination throughout your stay, so you can focus on recovery.
- Single-case agreement. Negotiated with your plan per-admission when specialized care isn’t locally available. Villa’s admissions team handles the negotiation as part of intake.
- Self-pay rates and financing. Villa offers self-pay rates and payment plans, with treatment financing through My Treatment Lender. Admissions walks through the options on the verification call.
