New Members
Welcome to Molina Healthcare!
Thank you for choosing Molina Healthcare. We want to help you get the most out of your health plan. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Review your Member Welcome Kit we sent you in the mail and keep it in a safe place. You can view the Quick Start Guide online (which is also included in the Welcome Kit).
Step 2: You will also receive your Member ID Card from us in the mail. Put it in your wallet and take it with you to your doctor visits. Make sure your primary care provider (PCP) is correct on your Member ID Card. If it is not, call Member Services.
Step 3: Call your Primary Care Provider (PCP), also known as your personal doctor to schedule your first appointment. This first meeting with your new doctor is important. It helps you get to know your doctor and is a time for you both to review your health status.
You should see your PCP within 90 days of your enrollment or sooner. You should be able to get an appointment with your PCP or a specialist as follows:
- Urgent Care – within (1) day of your request.
- Sick Care – within (3) days of your request.
- Well Care Visit – within (1) month of your request.
Please call us if you cannot get an appointment when you need one. You may call Member Services for help. Don't forget to bring your Member ID Card with you to all of your doctor’s visits. Please be on time so that you can be seen as scheduled.
