Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 1, 2011, Health Net, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. The press release contains the non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted days claims payable (DCP).” Adjusted DCP for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 57.3 days, adjusted DCP for the third quarter of 2010 was 53.6 days, and adjusted DCP for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 56.8 days. Adjusted DCP excludes reserves and health plan services expenses for the Company’s divested Northeast businesses, capitation payable, provider and other claim settlements and Medicare Part D. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to this non-GAAP financial measure is fourth quarter of 2010 DCP of 41.3 days, third quarter of 2010 DCP of 39.0 days, and fourth quarter of 2009 DCP of 34.2 days.

Management believes that adjusted DCP provides useful information to investors because the adjusted DCP calculation excludes amounts related to divested businesses and health care expenses for which no or minimal reserves are maintained. Therefore, management believes that adjusted DCP presents a more accurate reflection of DCP calculated from claims-based reserves than GAAP DCP, which does not exclude such costs. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to the press release. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated in this Item 2.02 by reference. The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
