More about Health Net

In Woodland Hills, one case manager said the people next to you cared about members and that middle managers did not hover. Health Net is part of Centene. That same nurse, writing in 2016, said pay was never competitive with hospital-system case managers and that there was very little room to move up. After the Centene acquisition they said processes changed before staffing and training were ready, benefits were cut, health coverage got expensive with no HMO option, and PTO was reduced. They also said the company did not support telecommuting, which they called the main reason to take the job. A 2019 contractor described a department manager as openly hostile and sarcastic and said clinical systems felt obsolete. If your posting is Utilization Review under Health Net Federal Services, two nurse reviews averaged 2.2. Culture sat at 1.3 and only 10% would recommend the job; work/life was the bright number at 4.1. A benefits-filtered set put compensation at 4.1 and work/life at 4.0, with 21% seeing a positive business outlook.
