Molina Healthcare is a Medicaid-focused managed care organization operating state-specific plans. Like Centene, you contract with the state plan rather than the parent, and MCO contracting is in addition to state Medicaid agency enrollment. Treat this page as orientation; payer’s change their habits often and without notice.

Who they are

Plan types on the card

Molina Healthcare of [State] Medicaid plans, Molina Marketplace, and Molina Medicare products including D-SNPs.

Enrollment and credentialing

Through molinahealthcare.com and the state plan’s provider site. Where the state uses a single credentialing verification organization for Medicaid MCOs, that process may cover Molina.

The two-layer requirement

State Medicaid agency enrollment plus the Molina contract. See Enroll in state Medicaid.

EDI, ERA, and EFT

Per state plan; payer IDs differ by state.

Appeals

Plan appeal, then the state fair hearing process.

Quirks worth knowing

  • Medicaid rates, with the associated margin analysis
  • Behavioral health may be carved out depending on the state
  • D-SNP products involve both Medicare and Medicaid rules, which complicates coordination of benefits
