FOLLOW UP: ATAC CAMPAIGN TO GET CALIFORNIA ADDICTION TREATMENT FACILITIES PAID BY HEALTH NET
ATAC waged a public relations campaign to demonstrate the damage Health Net has done to their insured and addiction treatment facilities in California. this included stories in Kaiser Health Newsletter, in a financial publication, and in the Los Angeles Times.We also produced two videos demonstrating the impact on the insured and providers of Health Net's long term failure to pay for treatment. We believe that Health net has settled with over 100 facilities and others are still in negotiation.The Insight video got 60,000 views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5cxwqfTqmg&t=73sThe Patti Mitchell story 100,000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoKLX3BOqrw&t=643s
