Providers
Key terms
This section explains key terms you’ll see in our
Provider and Pharmacy Online Directory.
- Providers are health care professionals and support providers such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and other people who provide care and services. Services include medical care, long-term services and supports (LTSS), supplies, prescription drugs, equipment and other services.
- The term “providers” also include facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and other places that provide medical services, medical equipment, and long-term services and supports.
- Providers that are a part of our plan's network are called network providers.
- Network providers are the providers that have contracted with us to provide services to members in our plan. The providers in our network generally bill us directly for care they give you. When you see a network provider, you usually pay nothing for covered services.
- A Primary Care Provider (PCP) is a physician, nurse practitioner, or health care professional and/or medical home or clinic (Federally Qualified Health Centers -FQHC) who gives you routine health care. Your PCP will keep your medical records and get to know your health needs over time. Your PCP will also give you a prior authorization (PA) if you need to see a specialist or other provider.
- Specialists are doctors who provide health care services for a specific disease or part of the body. There are many kinds of specialists. Here are a few examples:
- Oncologists care for patients with cancer.
- Cardiologists care for patients with heart conditions.
- Orthopedists care for patients with certain bone, joint, or muscle conditions.
- You may need a referral to see a specialist or someone that is not your PCP. A referral means that your primary care provider (PCP) must give you approval before you can see someone that is not your PCP. If you don’t get a referral, Molina Dual Options STAR+PLUS MMP may not cover the service.
- Referrals from your network PCP are not needed for:
- Emergency care;
- Urgently needed care;
- Kidney dialysis services that you get at a Medicare-certified dialysis facility when you are outside the plan’s service area; or
- Services from a women's health specialist.
- Additionally, if you are eligible to get services from Indian health providers, you may see these providers without a referral. We must pay the Indian health provider for those services even if they are out of our plan’s network.
- More information on referrals is available in Chapter 3 of the Member Handbook.
- You also have access to a Service Coordinator and a Service Coordination team that you choose.
- A Service Coordinator helps you manage your medical providers and services.
- Your Service Coordination team led by a Service Coordinator, is a group of advocates and providers working together to provide you with medical, behavioral health, substance use treatment, Long Term Services and Supports, and social needs. You have access to and input in the development of your own Service Coordination Team. The Service Coordination Team must include, first and foremost, you and/or your Legally Authorized Representative (LAR). You can tell us who else you would like to participate. Unless you tell us otherwise, your Service Coordination Team will include:
- You and/or your LAR
- Your Service Coordinator
- Your Primary Care Provider (PCP)
- Your behavioral health clinician (if you have one)
- Your long-term services and supports (LTSS) providers (if you have them).
- A pharmacist, and
- Representatives from the facility where you receive care
Your Service Coordination Team can also include the following people, if it is appropriate and if you agree:
- Nurses, specialists, social workers, and other people who can provide expert advice
- Family members
- Other informal caregivers
- Advocates
- State agency or other case managers.
- Everyone on the Service Coordination team works together to make sure your care is coordinated. This means that they make sure tests and labs are done once and the results are shared with the appropriate providers. It also means that your PCP should know all medicines you take so that he or she can reduce any negative effects. Your PCP will always get your permission before sharing your medical information with other providers. The goal of Service Coordination is to collaboratively assess the member’s unique health needs, create individualized care plans with prioritized goals, and facilitate services that minimize barriers to care so the member can live in the least restrictive environment with optimal health outcomes.
Primary Care Provider (PCP)
You can get services from any provider who is in our network and accepting new members.
First, you should choose a Primary Care Provider. You may be able to have a specialist act as your PCP. For example, a women's health specialist, medical home or clinic who gives you routine health care can act as your PCP. In some special cases, a specialist may act as a PCP if the specialist performs primary care functions, including but not limited to FQHCs, rural health clinics, health departments, and other similar community clinics. Please request this by calling Member Services at the number below. Molina Dual Options STAR+PLUS MMP will review for medical necessity/appropriateness and will obtain the written agreement from the specialist that he or she is willing to accept responsibility for coordination of all of the member’s health care needs. If the specialist is not willing to serve as the PCP, the request cannot be approved.
To choose a PCP, go to the list of providers on page based on your search results and choose a provider:
- that you use now, or
- who has been recommended by someone you trust, or
- whose offices are easy for you to get to.
- If you want help in choosing a PCP, please call Member Services at (866) 856-8699, TTY: 711, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., local time. The call is free. Or, visit MolinaHealthcare.com/Duals.
- If you have questions about whether we will pay for any medical service or care that you want or need, call Member Services and ask before you get the service or care.
Long-term services and supports (LTSS)
As a Molina Dual Options STAR+PLUS MMP member, you may be able to get long-term services and supports (LTSS), such as Personal Assistance Services (PAS) and Day Activity and Health Services (DAHS). These services promote independence and allow members to safely reside in a community setting for as long as possible. LTSS helps people who need assistance to do everyday tasks like taking a bath, getting dressed, making food, and taking medicine. Most of these services are provided at your home or in your community but could be provided in a nursing home or hospital.
Members can get different kinds and amounts of LTSS. If you think you need LTSS, you can talk to your Service Coordinator about how to apply for these services, and all of the resources available to you under the plan.
