Canopy Health is proud to partner with Health Net, a well-respected health plan carrier based in California. When employers select a SmartCare HMO plan for their staff, the team not only benefits from access to the Canopy Health alliance, but they also get free health promotion programs that can encourage them to live a longer, healthier life.
Your Workforce Will Appreciate Health Net’s Affordable and High-Quality Health Plans
Health Net offers a wide variety of affordable, high-quality health plans to employers, including its large group SmartCare HMO plans. When you work with Health Net, you can choose from streamlined, understandable plans, two prescription plan options, and the flexibility to offer multiple Health Net plan options to your workforce. The carrier prides itself on its fair pricing, focus on preventive care, and commitment to your employees’ diverse healthcare needs.

Once they join Canopy Health, your employees will receive coordinated healthcare and access to roughly 5,000 physicians and 18 hospitals across 8 Bay Area counties. They’ll also benefit from Canopy Health’s commitment to healthcare transparency and compassionate, patient-focused care. To find physicians in your area, you can search our alliance directory.
Health Promotion Programs Lead to Improved Outcomes
Healthcare research suggests that health promotion programs, when combined with high-quality care, can increase your workforce’s wellness and productivity. It can be difficult to implement healthy lifestyle changes without the support and accountability of a peer group. However, a comprehensive health coaching program can significantly improve a person’s likelihood of losing weight, stopping their nicotine use, or managing a chronic illness.
For example, a 2013 study evaluated health plan members who participated in a phone-based weight loss support program. At the beginning of the weight loss program, the participants set specific health goals, such as improving their mental health, diabetes control, or decreasing low back pain. Within six months of coaching, 89% had met at least one of their health goals — and they noted significant improvements in their eating habits, exercise levels, and overall health.
