Q. How do I get medical services? 
A. You should get all health care from Molina Healthcare providers. Your Provider Directory lists all the providers that are part of the plan. If you need a printed copy, call Member Services. It also lists other places you can go.

You can get the care you need from your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Your PCP can help you with the following:

• Checkups
• Tests and results
• Shots
• Illnesses
• Specialist visits
• Hospital visits

Your PCP name and number is located on your Member ID Card. If you need help, call Member Services.

You may also see these providers for physical exams and preventive care:

• Federal Qualified Health Centers
• Rural Health Clinics
• County Health Departments

Q. How do I change my provider?
A. If for any reason you want to change your PCP, you must first call Member Services and ask for a new PCP. You may also request a PCP change at www.MyMolina.com.

• Each member of your family can have a different PCP or you can pick the same PCP for the entire family.
• You will be sent a new Member ID Card. The Member ID Card will have the new PCP’s name, phone number and effective date of the change.

If your PCP has changed, call your new doctor to fill out a Medical Records Release Form. This will help your new doctor get your medical records from your previous doctor. The Form is in your Membership Welcome Packet. If you need a copy of the form, call Member Services.

Q. How do I get translation services?
A. If you prefer to speak in your own language, Member Services can help. There is no cost to you. Call Member Services. If you are hard of hearing, call our TTY line. An interpreter will be available to speak with you. If you have an appointment, your doctor can help you find an interpreter. They can also help you speak to the doctor. An interpreter can help you:

• Make an appointment.
• Talk with your doctor or nurse.
• Get emergency care.
• File a complaint, grievance or appeal.
• Get help from a pharmacist about taking medicine.

Q. What is an authorization?
A. When an approval is needed, it is called a “prior authorization”. Your PCP will take care of any referrals or authorizations you need.

Q. What is a Pharmacy authorization?
A. At Molina Healthcare, we care about our members. That is why we have a prior authorization process for certain drugs. It means that Molina Healthcare may have to approve a drug your doctor wants you to take. WE have to say it is ok to use before the pharmacy can fill it for you. We only do this for some drugs. We may ask if:

• The drug is not on the state of Florida Preferred Drug List (PDL)
• The drug says prior authorization (PA) needed on the state PDL

For example, if your drug is lost, stolen or damaged, you might need a prior authorization to get a refill. You might also need prior authorization if your doctor wants you to take a different dose of the drug you are on.

• A new drug
• Medical device
• Medical rule or procedure
• Surgical rule or procedure
• Behavioral health rule or procedure
• Therapy

We want to make sure that it is safe for sure. We also want to know if it is good for a medical symptom or condition. It is compared to cures. The goals of this process are:

• To review and update coverage choices as new scientific proofs are found.
• To review cases in order to decide if it is a certain service we should cover or not.

Molina Healthcare may deny a drug, device, protocol, procedure or other therapy that is new. We might say it is not medically necessary. If this happens, you can ask us why. You or your doctor can ask for this information. You can have copies of all the rules and procedures we used to make the decision. For information on this process, call Member Services.

Q. How do I get behavioral health services?
A. We can help you get behavioral health services. We can find you help for drug and alcohol abuse. Call Member Services at (866) 472-4585.

Q. When do I get my new Member Handbook and Member ID Card?
A. You should receive your Member Handbook and Molina Healthcare Member ID Card the first week after your enrollment is effective with Molina Healthcare.

Q. What if I need vision care?
A. As a member of Molina Healthcare, your vision care is provided to you by iCare.

If you need vision care, you must go to a doctor that is part of the iCare Health Solutions. To find a vision care center close to you, please call the Molina's Member Services Department.

Q. How can I get specialty care?
A. Your PCP will take care of most of your needs. There will be times when you will need to see other type of doctors. These doctors are called specialists. Examples of specialists are:

• Cardiologist
• ENTs (Ear, Nose & Throat)
• Neurologist
• Allergists

There are some providers that do not need referrals. For example:

• Gynecologist
• Dermatologist
• Psychologist

It is a good idea to check with Member Services if the doctor is part of Molina Healthcare. If you need a provider that is not part of Molina Healthcare, call your PCP to get prior approval from Molina.

Q. What if my doctor sends me for lab tests?
A. Your doctor will be sending your lab tests to Quest Diagnostics. If you need to take a lab test outside of your physician’s office, please go to Quest Diagnostics. To find a location near you, please call (866) MyQuest (866-697-8378) or you can go to www.QuestDiagnostics.com.
