Providing the Tools - The New Ventures Group is working on several online enrollment, eligibility and billing
solutions for its customers. During the first quarter of 2001, the company’s government contracts subsidiary, Health Net
Federal Services, announced an Internet-based enrollment and eligibility system for its TRICARE line of business,
which includes more than 1.5 million beneficiaries.
In addition, the company is working on other tools that will allow employer groups to conduct administrative
activities over the Internet.The New Ventures Group is partnering with major technology partners to develop online
tools that simplify and expedite the enrollment, eligibility and billing processes. This will allow customers to conduct
transactions in real time, while keeping Health Net’s enrollment and billing records accurate and up-to-date.
Networking Associates - During the latter part of 2000, the New Ventures Group began work on an
enterprise-wide portal for its own 11,000 associates.The portal, which serves as the company’s internal Web site, will,
for the first time in Health Net’s history, electronically connect all of its associates located throughout the country at
more than 200 sites.
Called “Health Net Connect,”the portal will be released in several phases throughout 2001. In addition to linking
all associates and subsidiaries, the portal will provide associates with a broad range of information that supports critical
business processes, enhances communication, eliminates bureaucracy and improves productivity.
Investing in the Future - Through its key e-business initiatives, Health Net is making a significant investment
in technology - and in the future of the company. Providing business partners and associates with the tools to simplify
and expedite processes and improve the flow of information allows Health Net to provide better service to its customers,
reduce administrative and transaction costs and create value for customers and stockholders.
