Health Net Federal Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of

management reaccreditation from URAC, a health care accrediting

care complications,” said Thomas Carrato, president of Health Net
Federal Services.

Federal Services has demonstrated a commitment to quality health

against national standards and undergo rigorous evaluation by an
independent accrediting body.”

About Health Net Federal Services
Health Net Federal Services has a long history of providing
cost-effective, quality managed health care programs for government
agencies, including the Departments of Defense and Veterans
Affairs. As the managed care support contractor for the TRICARE
North Region, Health Net provides health care services to
approximately 2.8 million uniformed services beneficiaries,
active and retired, and their families. In addition, Health Net
provides high quality, cost-effective health care solutions for
veterans, as well as behavioral health services for active duty
service members, veterans and their families.
Additionally, Health Net Federal Services administers the
Department of Veterans Affairs’ Patient Centered Community Care
(PC3) program in three of six regions across the United States
(regions 1, 2 and 4), which includes all or portions of 37 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The PC3 program provides eligible veterans access to health care
through a comprehensive network of community-based, non-VA medical
professionals who meet VA quality standards when VA supplements
care outside its own facilities. Earlier this month, VA extended
its PC3 contract with Health Net to include primary care services
for veterans who are unable to obtain primary care at a VA medical
center in the three PC3 regions in which Health Net operates.
The expanded PC3 contract now adds primary care services to Health
Net’s existing specialty care and behavioral health services.
