Seniority Plus Plans at a Glance
Seniority Plus is a portfolio of Medicare Group HMO plans that are easy to understand, compare and select. Our HMO networks leverage the trusted relationship between doctor and patient, which is key to maximizing and improving health. Better health translates into lower health care costs in the long run.
What’s more, Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage is included in many Seniority
Plus plans, so your retirees don’t need to buy a standalone Medicare Part D plan. With Seniority Plus pharmacy benefits, there is no Medicare Part D coverage gap – another plus for your retirees.
Find the Seniority Plus plan that works for you and your retirees with our quick comparison chart of benefits used most often.

Coverage for retirees outside the Health Net Seniority Plus area
If you have retirees living outside of the Health Net Seniority Plus service area, you can choose one of our Coordination of Benefits (COB) plans. Please check with your account manager for additional information or options.
The COB plans work like our Seniority Plus plans with one difference. With COB, Medicare is the primary plan and Health Net is the secondary plan. This means that we pay the difference between the amount Medicare pays and the Health Net allowed amount for the covered service.
With a COB plan, Health Net covers benefits as a supplemental payer only when services are coordinated by the member’s physician and authorized either by the medical group or by us.
Retirees must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B to enroll in a Health Net Medicare COB plan. Individuals over the age of 65 and actively employed are not eligible.
2 Health Net uses a formulary (drug list) which is subject to change. Drug copays in this document are based on a 30-day supply. Plan drugs obtained at out-of-network pharmacies may be covered in special circumstances, for instance, illness while traveling outside of the plan’s service area where there is no network pharmacy. Members may pay more than the copay if they get drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy. Please refer to the Summary of Benefits and/or Employer Group Formulary for complete coverage details.
