7 Management Performance Generic Penetration Generic Penetration Generic penetration has been on the rise as drug classes have matured and blockbuster drugs have lost patent protection Health Net has remained ahead of industry averages by utilizing all available levers Generic penetration is expected to increase into the future as more drugs lose patent protection, helping to reduce overall drug cost trends Health Net is expected to remain ahead of the industry averages by aggressively leveraging opportunities with the lowest net cost strategy 7
