Health Net of California and the Mexican Consulate General in Los Angeles Join Forces to Create First of Its Kind Borderless Approach to Health Care for Latino Families

“Health Net of California and the Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles will introduce two innovative products developed as part of Health Net’s Salud con Health Net Initiative, which was designed specifically to help address the Latino health care gap in California. The Mexi-Plan Program and the Health Net Cross-Border Individual Family Plan (IFP) are the first cross border health care plans available to individual subscribers. The Mexi-Plan Program was developed through a unique collaboration with the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles to fit the needs of Mexican immigrants. Both plans will provide quality, affordable health care for Latino families in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties, as well as in Mexican cities that share the border with California.

Although Latinos are the fastest growing middle-income group in the United States, they are 2.5 times more likely to be uninsured than whites, with a total of 66% of the population uninsured. Health Net’s Salud con Health Net Initiative signifies a major private sector solution to address high rates of the uninsured or underinsured in the Latino community.”
