A West Coast company is trying to pass a small government program health plan on to another company.
Health Net Inc., Woodland Hills, Calif., has applied for permission from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to transfer Health Net Medicare Advantage health maintenance organization plan in New York City to Touchstone Health Partnership Inc., New York.
The Health Net New York City Medicare Advantage HMO covers 6,500 individuals in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
Health Net already relies on Touchstone, a doctor-owned Medicare HMO, to provide health benefits for 5,700 of the 6,500 plan members, Health Net says.
