Health Net sponsorshipsSince 2003, Health Net has been the title sponsor of the Health Net Pro Cycling Team Presented by Maxxis, a USA-based professional cycling team. In addition, Health Net is often a sponsor of a variety of professional cycling races such as the CSC Invitational. ControversyIn 2007, Patsy Bates, a California beautician, sued Health Net claiming that they wrongfully terminated her care in the middle of her chemotherapy treatments. Internal company documents made public during the law suit revealed that the company had tied bonuses to dropping coverage in order to encourage its analysts in charge of recession reviews to find reasons to discontinue coverage to clients who the company deems will cost them money. The practice of giving bonuses to analysts for dropping clients is illegal for health insurance companies in the state of California. The case is still pending. [1] References
