What Molina members should know

Molina Healthcare is one of the nation’s largest Medicaid-focused insurers, and its Illinois plan serves HealthChoice Illinois members statewide. If your medical card lists Molina, psychiatric care at Mugen is covered under your existing plan: evaluation, medication management, and follow-up visits, in person in Oak Brook or by video anywhere in Illinois.

Molina’s member materials answer the cost question directly: for covered services there are no copays, no deductibles, and no coinsurance fees. For the details of your own benefits, Molina member services at (855) 687-7861 or the Molina Illinois member site, molinahealthcare.com, can review your coverage with you.

On access, Molina advises that members may continue seeing specialists they already know, and that a referral from your primary care provider may be needed when starting with a new one. That determination takes minutes, and our team completes it with you during your benefits call, before any appointment is placed on the calendar.
