- Submitting Claims
As a participating provider with Molina, you have established a contractual agreement to provide physical, behavioral and/or other long-term support services to our members. The arrangement is fee-for-service for the provision of covered healthcare services unless otherwise specified under your Participating Agreement. The rates established in your Participating Agreement are considered full payment for covered services provided. Accordingly, Molina members may not be balance billed for any remaining amounts and/or difference between what is billed, and your negotiated reimbursement rates defined in the rate exhibit of your Participating Provider Agreement.
Molina Healthcare pays clean claims submitted for covered services provided to eligible members. Ninety percent (90%) of all Clean Claims from Providers, who are an individual or group practice or who practice in shared health facilities, are paid within thirty (30) Calendar Days of the date of receipt.
How do I submit my claims to Molina?
We recommend that you submit claims through the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for efficient processing and payment. We work with Change Healthcare for all EDI transactions.
When submitting your 837 (I & P) files, please use our Payer ID: MLNNV.
