Molina Regains Medi-Cal Contracts

0

Long Beach-based Molina Healthcare Inc. said Tuesday that the California Department of Health Services has formally awarded its California subsidiary the Medi-Cal contracts for San Bernardino and Riverside counties.


The award follows the June 20 denial of an appeal filed by Blue Cross of California of the department’s notice of intent to award the contracts for the two counties to Molina Healthcare of California. Molina, which had held those contracts for more than a decade, lost them last year after a clerical error in filling out the proposals for renewal. The company then successfully appealed the decision.


The contract term for each county will commence on April 1, 2007, following the expiration of the current Inland Empire Medi-Cal contract between Molina Healthcare of California and DHS.


In addition to California, Molina operates health plans in Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, and Washington.
