Answer questions you may have
Your ID Card
You will receive an ID card from Molina Community Plus. Please have this ID card with you at all times. The
card will have your name, ID #, effective date. It has important information for you and your providers.
Please review your ID card as soon as you get it to make sure it is correct.
Enrollment
If you are a mandatory enrollee required to enroll in a plan, once you are enrolled in Molina Community Plus
or the state enrolls you in a plan, you will have 90 days from the date of your first enrollment to try the managed
care plan. During the first 90 days you can change managed care plans for any reason. After the 90 days, if you
are still eligible for Medicaid, you will be enrolled in the plan for the next nine months. This is called lock-in.
Open Enrollment
If you are a mandatory enrollee, the state will send you a letter 60 days before the end of your enrollment year
telling you that you can change plans if you want to. This is called open enrollment. You do not have to change
managed care plans. If you choose to change plans during open enrollment, you will begin in the new plan at the
end of your current enrollment year. Whether you pick a new plan or stay in the same plan, you will be locked
into that plan for the next 12 months. Every year you may change managed care plans during your 60 day open
enrollment period.
Medicaid Pending
You may be enrolled with Molina Community Plus even if your Medicaid is pending and you are waiting to see if
you are financially eligible.
Molina will help you complete the Department of Children and Family (DCF) financial eligibility process. There
will be no delay in services pending your eligibility.
Disenrollment
If you are a mandatory enrollee and you want to change plans after the initial 90-day period ends or after your
open enrollment period ends, you must have a state-approved good cause reason to change plans. The following
are state-approved case reasons to change managed care plans:
1. The enrollee does not live in a region where the Managed Care Plan is authorized to provide services, as
indicated in FMMIS.
2. The provider is no longer with the Managed Care Plan.
3. The enrollee is excluded from enrollment.
4. A substantiated marketing or community outreach violation has occurred.
5. The enrollee is prevented from participating in the development of his/her treatment plan/plan of care.
6. The enrollee has an active relationship with a provider who is not on the Managed Care Plans panel, but
is on the panel of another managed care plan. Active relationship is defined as having received services
from the provider within the six months preceding the disenrollment request.
Some Medicaid recipients may change Managed Care Plans whenever they choose, for any reason. To find out if
you may change plans, call the Enrollment Broker or Choice Counseling at (877) 711-3662.
A mandatory enrollee may ask for a disenrollment from the Health Plan for cause at any time. A Voluntary
enrollee may ask for a disenrollment from the Health Plan at any time.
All changes must be made with Choice Counseling at (877) 711-3662. They are the only ones that can make the
change for you. There must be a Good Cause reason. Molina cannot make the change for you.
If you are not happy with Molina, we hope you will call the Member Service Department. Please let us fix any
problems. But if you still want to disenroll, you may call Choice Counseling at (877) 711-3662.
If you want to change to another plan, you may not have the same provider. Each plan has their own list of
providers. Please learn about the new plan first. Learn about their benefits and their rules. Choice Counseling
can help you with any questions you may have. If you still want to leave the Molina, remember that you can ask
for the change in the first (90) days with us. To disenroll, call the Choice Counseling at (877) 711-3662.
If you want to leave Molina you must stay with Molina providers until the day you are with the new plan. Your
new plan will send you an ID card. If you have a new plan, call the new plan to make sure that the provider is on
the plan.
Involuntary Disenrollment
Molina Healthcare can ask that you be removed from the Plan if:
1. You lose Medicaid
2. You move out of the service area
3. You let someone use your Molina ID card
4. Your behavior is disruptive or abusive. (The Plan will give warnings.)
Even after you have changed plans you will still be able to file an appeal or grievance.
