Washington Network Change from First Choice to First Health

Date: 02/26/21

Health Net Health Plan of Oregon, Inc. (Health Net) has made a change to the provider network for Washington state. Currently members have access to the First Choice network statewide, as well as Health Net PPO contracted providers in southwest Washington.

Effective March 1, 2021, Health Net will replace the First Choice provider network with the First Health national provider network.

  • If your employer groups have members currently receiving medical services from a First Choice provider, they will need to transition to either a First Health national network provider or a Health Net PPO contracted provider to continue receiving in-network benefits.
  • If members are currently using a Health Net PPO contracted provider, no action is needed.
  • Members can continue to use their current ID card when utilizing any First Health national network provider until they receive their new ID card.
  • Members will receive new ID cards reflecting the network change upon their group’s renewal.

To verify if a member’s current provider is contracted with First Health or Health Net, please visit our website. Members can locate First Health providers by using the “Find a Provider” tool on our website and then selecting the “Search First Health” link.

For your reference, below are the employer and member letters that will be sent out next week. 

If you have any questions, please contact your Health Net Account Management team.

Thank you for your continued partnership!
