SmartCare FAQs
Why do SmartCare plans have an HMO design?

What wellness resources does SmartCare offer?
Health Net helps people build healthy habits, make decisions with their doctors, and manage complex health issues with a combination of wellness coaching, online resources and self-guided programs.
Large group adult SmartCare members can earn an annual $50 gift card reward just by investing in their health. All they do is complete the RealAge Test (health assessment), share the results with their primary care physician (PCP) at a scheduled preventive care physical, and note the physician visit in their Health Net account.
