Customer Service Accolades Awarded to Health Net in 2021

The DHCS award marks the third time in 2021 that external panels recognized Health Net for excellence in customer service. Earlier this year, Newsweek named Health Net to the publisher's annual "America's Best Customer Service" ranking among health insurance plans.

For their annual America's Best Customer Service ranking in health care insurance, Newsweek selected and ranked brands. The survey asked questions of more than 25,000 U.S. consumers who either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years. The company collected a total of 160,000 customer evaluations, which they used to rank traditional retailers, online retailers, and service providers from 161 product and service categories.

In addition, Health Net was ranked highest for customer service among Health Insurers in 2021 in Forrester's proprietary 2021 US Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) survey. The ranking was based on responses from more than 85,000 US survey respondents from 13 US industries, including health care plans.
