PLEASE NOTE: Urgent Care is not covered if member see's a non-participating provider!
Molina does not restrict you from freely contracting at any time to obtain any health care services outside the health care policy on any terms or conditions you choose. However, you will be 100% responsible for payment and the payments will not apply to your deductible or annual out-of-pocket maximum for any of these services. However, a Member may receive Covered Services from a Non-Participating Provider for the following:
• Emergency Services and Behavioral Health Emergency Services
• Services from a Non-Participating Provider that are subject to Prior Authorization
• Exceptions described in the “Non-Participating Provider at a Participating Provider Facility” section
• Exceptions described in the “No Participating Provider to Provide a Covered Service” section
• Exceptions described in the “Continuity of Care” section
• Exceptions described in the “Transition of Care” section
To locate a Participating Provider, please refer to the Provider directory at MolinaMarketplace.com or call Member Services. Because Non-Participating Providers are not in Molina's contracted Provider network, they may Balance Bill Members for the difference between Molina's Allowed Amount and the rate that they charge. Members may avoid Balance Billing by receiving all Covered Services from Participating Providers.
Members may refer to MolinaMarketplace.com or contact Member Services for additional information regarding protections from Balance Billing through Federal and State Law.
In most cases, participating providers will ask you to make a payment toward Your cost sharing at the time you check in. This payment may cover only portions of the total cost sharing for the covered services you receive. The participating provider will bill you for any additional cost sharing amounts that are due. The participating provider is not allowed to bill you for covered services you receive other than for cost sharing amounts that are due under this policy. However, you are responsible for paying charges for any health care services or treatment, which are not covered services under this policy.
A grace period is a period of time after a member’s premium payment is due and has not been paid in full. If a subscriber hasn’t made full payment, they may do so during the grace period and avoid losing their coverage. The length of time for the grace period is determined by whether or not the subscriber receives an advance payment of the premium tax credit (APTC).
- Grace Period for Subscribers with No APTC: Molina Healthcare will give you a thirty (30) calendar-day grace period before cancelling or non renewing your coverage due to failure to pay your premium. Molina will pend all appropriate claims for services rendered to the subscriber and their dependents pursuant to the terms of this agreement. During the grace period, you can avoid cancellation or nonrenewal by paying the premium you owe to Molina. If you do not pay the premium by the end of the grace period, this agreement will be cancelled on the last day of the month prior to the beginning of the grace period. You will still be responsible for any unpaid premiums you owe Molina for the grace period.
- Grace Period for Subscribers with APTCs: Molina will give you a three (3) month grace period before cancelling or not renewing your coverage due to failure to pay your premium. Molina will pay for covered services received during the first month of the three-month grace period. If you do not pay the premium by the end of the first month of the three-month grace period, your coverage under this plan will be suspended and Molina will not pay for covered services after the first month of the grace period until we receive the delinquent premiums. If all premiums due and owing are not received by the end of the three-month grace period, this agreement will be cancelled effective the last day of the first month of the grace period. You will still be responsible for any unpaid premiums you owe Molina for the grace period.
A retroactive denial is the reversal of a previously paid claim. This retroactive denial may occur even after you obtain services from the provider (doctor). If we retroactively deny the claim, you may become responsible for payment. The ways to prevent retroactive denials are paying your premiums on time, and making sure you doctor is a participating (in-network) provider.
Retroactive denial of claims does not apply to services that Molina has pre-authorized.
If you believe you have paid too much for your premium and should receive a refund, please contact Member Services using the telephone number on the back of your ID card.
Medical Necessity or Medically Necessary means health care services or supplies needed to diagnose or treat an illness, injury, condition, disease or its symptoms and that meet accepted standards of medicine.
A prior authorization is an approval from Molina which confirms that a requested health care service, treatment plan, prescription drug or item of durable medical equipment has been determined to be medically necessary and is covered under your plan. Molina’s Medical Directors work in collaboration with participating providers to assure clinically appropriate or clinically significant care is delivered to our members, in terms of the type, frequency, event, or service site of care, according to generally accepted applicable practice guidelines. They decide on the medical necessity before the care or service is given. This is to ensure you receive the right care for your specific condition. Within thirty days of receiving a request, Molina will furnish its medical necessity criteria for medical/surgical benefits and mental health/substance use disorder benefits or for other essential health benefit categories to an enrollee or provider when requested.
If additional information is needed to make the prior authorization determination, Molina will approve or deny the request within four calendar days of the receipt of the additional information. Urgent prior authorization requests related to medical conditions that may cause a serious threat to your health are processed within 48 hours. This is 48 hours from when we get the information we need and ask for to make the decision. In the event that the urgent prior authorization request is also a concurrent review request, Molina will make a determination as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after receipt, provided that the prior authorization request is made at least 24 hours prior to the expiration of the previously approved period of time or number of treatments. For post-service review requests, Molina will make its determination within thirty calendar days. We will deny a prior authorization if information we request is not provided to us within the required timeframe.
Molina has a list of drugs, devices, and supplies that are covered under the plan's pharmacy benefit. The list is known as the formulary. The formulary shows prescription and over-the-counter products plan members can get from a pharmacy using Molina coverage. It also shows coverage requirements, limitations, or restrictions on the listed products. The formulary is available at www.MolinaMarketplace.com. A hardcopy is also available upon request.
If your prescription drug is not listed on the formulary, your provider may request a formulary exception by sending a form and supporting facts to let Molina know how the drug is medically necessary for your condition. The process is similar to requesting prior authorization for a formulary drug.
The pharmacy "Drug Prior Authorization Form" and instructions for completing the request can be found here.

If the request is approved, we will notify your provider. If it is not approved, we will notify you and your provider, including the reasons why. Drugs that are not on the formulary may cost you more than similar drugs that are on the formulary if covered on exception.
There are two types of formulary exception requests:
Expedited exception request – this is for urgent circumstances that may seriously jeopardize your life, health, or ability to regain maximum function; or for requesting nonformulary prescription drugs you have already been taking for a while. Drug samples given to you by a provider or a drug maker will not count as drugs you have been taking for a while. To have your request expedited, indicate on the form that the request is urgent.
Standard exception request – this is for non-urgent circumstances.
Notification - following your request, we will send you and/or your provider notification of our decision no later than:
- 24 hours following receipt of an expedited exception request
- 72 hours following receipt of a standard exception request
If you think your request was denied incorrectly, you and your provider may seek additional review by Molina or an Independent Review Organization (IRO). Details are outlined in the notification you will receive with the reasons why the exception request was denied.
Each time we process a claim submitted by you or your health care provider, we explain how we processed it in the form of an explanation of benefits (EOB). The EOB is not a bill. It simply explains how your benefits were applied to that particular claim. It includes the date you received the service, the amount billed, the amount covered, the amount we paid, and any balance you're responsible for paying the provider. Each time you receive an EOB, review it closely and compare it to the receipt or statement from the provider.
Coordination of benefits, or COB, is when you are covered under one or more other group or individual plans, such as one sponsored by your spouse's employer. An important part of coordinating benefits is determining the order in which the plans provide benefits. One plan is responsible for providing benefits first. This is called the primary plan. The primary plan provides its full benefits as if there were no other plans involved. The other plans then become secondary. Further information about coordination of benefits can be found in your agreement.
Without health insurance, you may suffer catastrophic financial losses due to illness or injury.
Health plans in the Marketplace cannot deny health insurance coverage because of a medical condition you had before signing up for coverage. Coverage for any pre-existing medical condition you may have begins the effective date of your coverage.
Open enrollment for 2024 is November 1, 2023, through January 15, 2024.
Complete your enrollment application by December 15, 2023, for a January 1, 2024, effective date.
Within 10 days after you pay your first premium. For coverage starting on the first of the month we will send out ID cards approximately the 26th of the month.
Many of us do not think about health care until we need it. However, health care is important at all times – for preventative care and for unexpected emergencies.
