Molina Healthcare Coverage By Treatment Type

When looking at coverage with Molina Healthcare, the more specific information you have the better. Here is a closer look at coverage by treatment type.

Molina Healthcare Plan Types

Molina Healthcare offers health insurance plans that focus on government-sponsored health insurance programs as well as Marketplace programs.

The four main categories of insurance plans include:

  • Medicaid
  • Medicare
  • integrated Medicaid/Medicare (duals)
  • Molina Marketplace plans

Molina’s Marketplace insurance plans target people whose income is too high for them to receive Medicaid and who don’t have, or can’t afford, health insurance through an employer.

These highly subsidized plans help clients transition from Medicaid to the Marketplace by lowering out-of-pocket expenses while giving clients access to quality healthcare services.

How To Use Molina Healthcare Coverage For Substance Abuse Treatment

If you have Molina Healthcare insurance coverage, you can use it for addiction treatment services by simply giving your insurance information to an intake specialist when you enroll.

Of course, you will want to be sure that the treatment provider you are working with is in-network with Molina Healthcare.

What Addictions Does Molina Healthcare Cover?

Molina Healthcare covers treatment for a variety of forms of substance abuse including alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder.

Molina also covers prescription drug abuse of benzodiazepines and other substance use disorders.

What If My Insurance Plan Doesn’t Cover The Treatment Program I Need?

If your insurance doesn’t cover the addiction care you need, you still have options to get help paying for the cost.

You can look into government-funded insurance programs such as Medicaid or Medicare, or you can look into government-funded rehab centers that offer treatment for free or at a low cost.

There are also non-profit organizations that offer scholarships to help people pay for addiction treatment who otherwise would not be able to.

Additionally, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides block grants and awarded grants that qualifying rehab centers use to pass the savings on to clients.

Finally, you can find out if the rehab center you want to attend offers payment assistance through payment plans or a sliding fee scale that adjusts the cost of treatment to your income.

Finding A Rehab Center That Accepts Molina Healthcare

The most efficient way to find a rehab center that accepts Molina Healthcare is to go to Molina’s website and search for addiction treatment providers near you through the member portal.

If you are uncomfortable doing that, you can always call Molina’s customer care center and ask a representative for help.
