LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2018--
Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: MOH) today announced that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Molina Healthcare of Washington, Inc., has been chosen
as an apparently successful bidder by the Washington State Health Care
Authority (HCA) to negotiate and enter into managed care contracts for
all eight additional regions of the state’s Apple Health Integrated
Managed Care (IMC) program. With this announcement, Molina is one of
only two managed care organizations selected for the IMC program in each
of the state’s 10 regional service areas and all 39 counties.
“These awards are a testament to Molina Healthcare of Washington’s
excellent track record of providing high quality, accessible, and
affordable health care,” said Joe Zubretsky, president and chief
executive officer for Molina Healthcare, Inc. “We look forward to our
continuing partnership with the HCA to serve members across the state
through the Integrated Managed Care program.”
The new contracts will allow selected managed care organizations to
provide the full continuum of behavioral and physical health services
that are available to beneficiaries for each of the eight regional
service areas.
“We are honored to have the opportunity to provide fully integrated
managed care in every region of the state,” said Peter Adler, president
of Molina Healthcare of Washington. “The success we have already seen
serving members in the North Central and Southwest regions illustrates
how effective whole-person care can be in improving health outcomes for
some of the most vulnerable members of our communities while also
controlling costs for our government partners.”
Molina currently provides Medicaid physical health services throughout
Washington state and fully integrated behavioral and physical health
services in the North Central and Southwest regions of Washington.
Molina Healthcare of Washington was selected by HCA for the following
regions: Greater Columbia, King, North Sound, Pierce, and Spokane
beginning January 1, 2019; and Salish, Thurston-Mason, and Great Rivers
beginning January 1, 2020. Molina’s current membership in the newly
awarded regions totals approximately 605,000. Combined with previously
awarded regions, Molina’s Medicaid membership in Washington is currently
in excess of 748,000.
