If I could give Molina zero stars I would. I visit the ER room on March 2019 and I’m barely getting an invoice after 8 moths. The emergency visit was $327 and Molina ONLY paid $67.29 that’s ridiculous! Unfortunately I had to pay the rest. What’s the point of having insurance if they don’t even cover half. Each month I make monthly payments to Molina to get coverage, but what coverage their refusing to pay more than $67. It would have been better off not to have insurance because at least I wouldn’t have to pay close to $200 each month for premium. Where’s the money I have been paying every month? If I add up the monthly premium for the year it’s close to $2,400. So please do yourself a favor and stay away from Molina. They are very happy to receive your monthly premiums and when you need them they don’t care about you.

Molina is a complete scam. There are NO doctors that accept it! I can't believe this company is in business. It is apparently funded by the ACA, but NONE of the DOCTORS listed on their website or in any of their literature actually accept their insurance. They should be investigated for fraud, but then again the entire Obamacare system is fraudulent and a complete failiure. It is only designed to extort money from the american people via the tax code and hand it over to "Healthcare" companies that Doctors do not accept! Molina Collects a monthly premium and provide no service! Criminal! This is organized crime!

I talked to Molina reps BEFORE I chose the company & they blatantly lied about the doctors on their list. Primary care doctor was rude & treated me like one of the "cheap" patients because I was using Molina. The PCP gave me a referral for a Gastroenterologist- no gastroenterologist's in the state of New Mexico will take Molina, NOT ONE. 3 of the offices told me they informed Molina that they would no longer accept their plans & Molina has refused to remove from their website the list of doctors & clinics that dropped them. Government (our taxes) paid Molina around $6000 for my plan - I got to have a $314 doctor visit & referrals that I cannot use & paid that doctor $35 co-pay. AVOID!!

I wish there was a zero star rating. Molina automatically rejects every claim. 99% of the doctor do not work with Molina. I wanted to see an allergist and got denied because Molina said they would not work with that doctor even though that Dr takes our Molina Marketplace insurance. Every prescription I have ever tried to fill gets automatically denied. I have spent more time getting the run around and less time getting my health issue resolved. NOBODY takes this insurance and if there somebody out there they are an hour or more away from where I live in Olympia WA. We pay $1,500 per month for this insurance that really is not an insurance at all . I have been forced to pay cash for all my doctors visits because I don't have time to deal with the constant denials. Changing insurances next year. I don't normally leave reviews places but I wanted to warn anyone considering this fraudulent insurance company.

I have had Molina 3 different times. They were the most affordable plan on my limited income. However, I always had the problem of trying to find any doctors or services that would accept my insurance plan because doc find is extremely outdated. This time is the worst though. I sent in two claims for a podiatrist and a PT. Both times they told me they were out of network and no payment. That was not the case. They told me that my PT wasn't being paid because his certification expired. That was not the case. Still working on $500 bill for one podiatrist visit. Also fired a complaint on podiatrist because visit was a nightmare! He was terrible. When I called previously , they have no record of any of my calls. I'm glad I'm retired because I've spent a lot of time on just two visits. So, the insurance is fine, as long as you never have to use it!

I spent over an hour on the phone trying to find a provider that actually takes their insurance. They list they provided is completely inaccurate (the doctors listed don't accept the insurance, they're no longer working there, the phone numbers are wrong, doctors names are listed multiple times, etc.). I was on page 5 before I found someone, and that's after extending my search to doctors that are an hour away. There's a link at the bottom of the provider search page to take their "Provider Online Directory Survey," but surprise surprise the link doesn't work. Every doctor's office I spoke to said they have filled out the paperwork and asked Molina to take them off their system, but they still get calls daily from frustrated people like me that are desperately searching for a doctor.

Chose a PCP on the list on their website in January. Tried to make an appt in April to get established - this provider is not a contracted provider - Molina "let them go". On the phone back and forth with provider and Molina - finally doc himself called me to say he called the number he has through his dealings with Molina -- and he is NOT a provider. Started calling in order of distance - severall others were also "fired" or let go - or they chose not to do business with Molina - or they were urgent care providers, surgeons, pediatricians, etc.
I finally found a PCP provider on PAGE 22!!!!! (10 per page!!!!) who is a contracted provider in network that I can make an appt with. But when you change your primary you have to wait till the 1st of the following month (or 2 months if it you change PCP after the 25th) to be able to see that provider even though the one I chose according to their website and verbal "yes he is a provider" from the 800 number was not true and I would have had to pay out of pocket - HORRIBLE, AWFUL INSURANCE COMPANY - the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I am a 60-year-old and have dealt with many insurance companies over the years. CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE - STAY AWAY

I hate this company. Everything they do is designed to make sure that they pay for nothing. I had a doctor covered by Molina so I had to sign up for it. It's expensive. They cover nothing--they denied extended PT, in spite of documented medical need. They denied a CT scan recommended by my doctor. Really, if I get run over by a truck, they might cover a little bit, but probably only a little. Walgreens won't fill prescriptions by Molina. My doctor's mammograms aren't covered--have to go many miles away for one Molina has bargained with down to the bare bones. Hate, hate, hate and despise. It's not like I'm not paying a ton for the privilege of maybe being covered when the truck hits me. I'm paying almost $900 a month for crap coverage. I can't wait for the year to end to get another company.

If I could give them a -10,000,000,000,000 for their rating I would. I pay all this money each month through marketplace insurance only to spend hours, days and weeks that have gone by and I still can't find a doctor who accepts it. Customer service is rude, unprofessional, and insensitive and does not care. Their provider list is a joke and extremely outdated. I'm am almost in tears. I have had this insurance for 3 months and still cannot find a doctor. The doctor assigned to me by default was arrested in December 2018. This is the most horrible insurance company I've ever had. All I feel like I can do is just try to pray for good health and that nothing happens. I cannot believe that this is a company! Literally every doctor I have called on their PROVIDER list says that they do not accept Molina Marketplace. HORRIBLE-DO NOT GET THIS INSURANCE, you're better off applying for SNAP benefits and getting Medicaid!

My Mom was there for a couple of months. She was also covered by hospice during her stay. Not much interaction with Molina nurses and CNAs. Hospice took care of her. Having to deal with office personnel was our biggest obstacle and still is! Molina never applied for Medicaid but said theywere in the process. Then we mentioned transferring her to another facility closer to our family and they said THAT facility would have to apply for Medicaid. In the end, I had to apply with a form Molina gave me, hand delivered it to DEFACS in Thomaston and Molina gave me the wrong forms to fill out! I had to sit in DEFACS office and fill out the correct form and the personnel at DEFACS are asking me why am I filling out the forms. Molina should have already done that! Got Medicaid going and my Mom was approved instantly! I had to private pay each month until Medicaid was approved and that was a chunk. Do you think I have been reimbursed yet? I have been given the biggest runaround! Very unprofessional people employed there. One excuse after another. Finally turned it over to an attorney yesterday. The hospice was Sacred Journey, spoke with them today and the woman was laughing in my face! "We don't want you wasting your money on an attorney this is our process". So, so, so many processes. The woman at Sacred Journey wouldn't even let me talk. I finally had to ask her to be quiet so I could talk. Molina and Sacred Journey are a joke as far as their business offices are concerned!!

I had Molina health care in 2018, through the Obamacare market place. I would have to say this is the worst insurance company I have ever had in terms of coverages and available doctors in their network. It's clear there is a limited amount of providers to see because 90% of them refuse to deal with Molina healthcare. Doctors tell me it is so hard to get their money for the services they provide that they would rather not deal with them. Also, they want to tell the provider what treatment you should have instead of letting your doctor prescribe your treatment. I have Ulcerative colitis and in 2018 I had a major flare up and nearly had to be hospitalized. Molina put up such a fight over my healthcare costs, I became so stressed out therefore, exacerbating my condition. This year 2019, I opted to go for a higher cost premium insurance company rather than go through that mess ever again.

All health insurance in the U.S.A. is CRIMINALLY BAD! But Molina Healthcare is in a class of its own! They drag their feet for EVERYTHING hoping you will die before approving ANYTHING! Healthcare, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Banks etc. operate as CARTELS! They HATE any and all regulation or consumer protection!

STAY AWAY from Molina Healthcare! I have been waiting for surgery for a complete AC Joint Separation (I am literally in pain 24 hours a day 7 days a week) and I was told by my surgeon (at Swedish Hospital) that Molina will not reimburse them 100% for my surgery and therefore my surgery has been canceled. Molina...you MUST understand that your money saving actions actually affect REAL PEOPLE!! I've asked the question several times...WHY will you not cover my surgery!?!?!

These people should get the guiness book of world records to tag them as having the most liars under 1 roof. Nobody takes this insurance. They make you do prior authorizations where it takes weeks to get meds they didnt pay nothing for me. Denied payment to drs that were saving my life then said they would send me a list of clinicd. They never did. I had to switch plans to get on hospice. I c

This company has the some of the rudest, out of touch and hard of hearing phone people working for them. They repeatedly call 2, 3 times a day leaving messages to call them back even after I answered whatever question was so important. And god forbid you disagree or turn down a suggestion they make. They keep harrassing me to see their Nurse Practitioner when I have clearly stated that I prefer my own certified MD. They call and leave messages, it's straight up harrassment. I now have to purchase extra minutes for my phone every month because of their ridiculousness.

This is the most disappointing company I have dealt with. They can’t do their jobs properly even though the physicians have sent them all the information they need for prescription and Dr visits. Then they refuse to communicate with the pharmacy to get the correct supplies. They send out so much useless paperwork in 10 different languages hey save a tree. Just all around incompetent. You can say you’re sorry so many times before I’m going to call BS.

From a provider/s point of view, Molina is the worst of the Medicaid heath insurances.
It requires prior authorization for all services, including office visits.
Not worth spending so much time to secure(maybe) a meager compensation.
We, like most of the providers in the area that inherited Molina from Affinity, have stopped accepting Molina. We suggest all patients look elsewhere for competent insurance.

This is the worst health insurance and member services! They assigned a doctor to me that is two hours away. I did not find out until I finally got through to someone at that facility that was the case. When I contacted Molina to advise them of their "mistake" I am advised that a change in doctor won't take effect until the first of June. I am out of medications now! When I "expressed" my dissatisfaction with their incompetency, I was hung up on. Now I have to pay out of pocket to see a doctor outside of their plan in order to get medication refills. I am so irate at this poor service!

I was switched to this automatically because Illinois is doing a Medicare and Medicaid alignment program that allegedly makes my healthcare easier. Turns out nowhere in this part of the state accepts any MMAI program despite all their websites show practically every doctor as in their network. I haven't been to mist doctors I need to go to for months thanks to all this.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I paid for one month of medical coverage with Molina. It's been almost 3 weeks and no insurance card. Not without my efforts. I've been trying to call. Somehow it never works. If I get through, the call ends, or they pass me along to someone else and then I'm eventually hung up on. I still don't have a member ID number and therefore cannot use my insurance. Which I paid for and signed up for. Glad I'll never need to use them again. Hoping I can still somehow get through to someone and get help finding my information.

If I could rate -5 stars I would. Constantly charged more than I was told, 3x what I expected just to see my primary care doctor. Constantly had problems getting my insulin, still to this day have problems getting meds. They don't fill the right amount, everything gets prior auth'd even if you've been on the medication for years. I went through benzo withdrawal because of this garbage company.

Avoid them at all costs! Their website shows a bunch of providers which don't actually accept the insurance. I think this is a scam so that they can be part of the Government Marketplace. It works fine as long as you don't get sick. I recently had to go to an urgent care facility which they list on their website as in-network and now they claim that the facility is not and declined payment. SCAMMERS

Molina Marketplace is terrible. Their website is not up to date. Their payment summary is not updated either. They terminated my insurance prematurely saying I owed money I didn’t owe. They then sent me a refund for some money I sent except for $113 that they say I owed that I didn’t. I contacted them multiple times before that. Their customer service is terrible. Despite the stressful situation, I’m glad I have a new and better health insurance now.

Horrible coverage. It actually covers NOTHING I have submitted. For example, my doctor had me do a sleep study for sleep apnea. Molina not only didnt cover my sleep study, but wrote me a letter saying although I have sleep apnea I don't qualify for coverage for a machine!!!! This coverage is the worst you can possibly get and NOTHING is covered. Get anything else... literally anything.

Molina is a pathetic excuse for an insurance company. They cannot properly bill customers. It took them 2 months to get me info to be able to log in to get an insurance card. They excel at transferring your calls and putting you on hold for hours on end. They claim Memorial Hermann (is in network) in Houston, TX but almost none of the doctors at MH are in network. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra $20/month and use someone like BCBS or Etna.

As a physician, I am routinely frustrated by Molina's unwillingness to approve appropriate procedures. They routinely deny things that all other insurance companies will cover. We are often forced to do peer-to-peer reviews with someone who is not connected to patient care, which is time consuming and insulting. Have had to threaten legal intervention to get things done. Stay away!!

Horrible horrible insurance. If I could give them a zero I would. They do not care if you are in terrible pain they will deny a procedure even after they tell your dr its a covered procedure and your case worker also tells you the procedure you need is covered.
Don't depend on this company to care about you or your loved ones. If you hear the words Molina Healthcare run!!!! Medicare and Medicaid should be ashamed to be associated with this company.

Molina does everything it can to not approve tests and treatment for mental health issues, dementia, and potential Alzheimers. We have been struggling to understand the issues with a brain that has shut down in a few lobes and Molina will not approve the required tests and procedures to adequately assess the issues and define a treatment plan for the near and far future. It is such a sad, sad situation.

Forget about Molina's promise to give you to cover prenatal care, they won't even cover an ultrasound and will go on to label it a radiology service! Also they won't cover immunizations without a doctors note... who does that for something everyone needs? AND they make you wait a month before letting you change doctors, even if you call and find out your current doctor was mislabeled by them, and isn't seeing any new adult patients. ugggg.

My experienceMolina Insurance has been a total disaster. First, the staff there can't answer simple questions, and are also very dishonest. Molina failed me on getting enrolled, overbilled me, and lied to me over and over again. It takes at least 30 mins on hold to speak to someone, and once they're on the phone, they just tell a bunch of lies. Molina does not deserve even one star.

Scam. The coverage was terrible, limited on everything. Canceled in October 2018, but they kept charging me without sending me a notice. Come January 2019, finally got a bill for past months.... I called these people and canceled, even got a conformation. Now it's 2020 and have to file the month of January, and guess what. it lowered the amount I'm getting back on my income taxes.

WORTHLESS and deserve zero stars. I could never find a provider to fill my 84 year old mother’s diabetic shoe prescription and hearing aides. Every time I called, I would get different instructions which never worked to get what my mother needed. Additionally, they could not refer her to a dentist because they had none on their network. After more than a year of trying to get services without any success, I changed her to another insurance. I would NOT recommend Molina Health Plan to anyone!

I pay over $2400 a month for a Molina health policy for my family. None our doctors are covered, and none of our drugs are covered. Even with Prior Authorizations they refused coverage. Even a $17 cholesterol medication was denied. Unbelievable. On top of that every call to customer service means you are going to spend an hour on hold at a minimum. I can not warn you enough.

I asked him if I was going to get a refund for the at least 11 days that I have not been able to use the service that I paid for. He said, "NO"
I will update if I actually receive resolution tomorrow.

My policy hasn’t even taken effect yet and I’m regretting my decision. Molina accidentally debited monthly payment twice. I’ve spent 5-6 hours on the phone (hold mostly) and have been told the money will be returned. It’s been 3 weeks, and not a dome has been returned yet. Missing $700 from my checking account makes it very difficult to pay my bills.

The only issue I have is that Molina needs to change their vision coverage provider. VSP is terrible. What good is it to have the exam covered once a year and not the lenses/frames. I am now stuck wearing a pair of glasses that are 4 years old until after the first of the year. I am completely embarrassed because I did not know and it is not explained in the coverage handbook that the lenses & frames coverage is every other year. Not impressed.

DO NOT GET MOLINA!!!! I had Molina for almost a year until I could not handle it anymore. The options for providers is little to none. Even to fill a prescription was a hassle due to them not being in contract with hardly any pharmacy's.. The worst part is the customer service, AWFUL. They are rude and not helpful what-so-ever. Even cancelling my coverage was a pain... They give you the run around for everything and never have answers. Very little options are in network for Molina, I do not recommend.
