Health Net Commits $1M to Prepare 4.7M Medi-Cal Members for Work Requirements
Health Net (Centene subsidiary) launched 'Get Informed, Stay Covered' — the first managed care plan to begin formal member outreach for H.R. 1 work requirements taking effect January 2027.
California will check eligibility every 6 months. DHCS requires outreach June 30 – August 31, 2026. FQHCs must prepare for massive patient documentation burden: helping patients navigate 80-hour/month activity requirements, exemptions, and compliance reporting to avoid procedural disenrollment.
Key takeaways
- First managed care plan to begin work requirement outreach
- DHCS outreach window: June 30 – August 31, 2026
- Jan 2027: 80-hr/month activity requirement + 6-month eligibility checks
