Opt-In Information

There are two ways you can join Molina's Medicare-Medicaid Plan. You can "opt-in" (voluntary), or join through passive enrollment".

  • Opt-In: Opt-In is also called "Voluntary Enrollment". If you choose to voluntarily enroll, your benefits may become effective as early as the first month following your submission of an enrollment form.
  • Passive Enrollment: If you do not select a health plan by the due date in the outreach letter, Illinois Client Enrollment Services will select a health plan for you. This is called "passive enrollment" Once you are enrolled in a Medicare-Medicaid Plan like Molina, you can disenroll at any time.

 

Opt-Out Information

Opting-Out:

As part of the Molina Medicare-Medicaid Plan, you can switch plans or opt out of the MMP program at any time, on a monthly basis.

  • Members who opt-out of the MMP program will no longer have their benefits coordinated under one plan.
  • Members receiving Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) may choose to opt-out or disenroll from the Medicare side of MMP, but will be required to remain enrolled in a managed care health plan for their Medicaid services and will be locked in for one year following an initial 90 change period.
