Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Operations Molina Healthcare, Inc. provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the “Marketplace”). Molina was founded in 1980 as a provider organization serving low-income families in Southern California and reincorporated in Delaware in 2002. We currently have four reportable segments consisting of: 1) Medicaid; 2) Medicare; 3) Marketplace; and 4) Other. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we currently manage the business and view the markets we serve. As of December 31, 2022, we served approximately 5.3 million members eligible for government-sponsored healthcare programs, located across 19 states. Our state Medicaid contracts typically have terms of three to five years, contain renewal options exercisable by the state Medicaid agency, and allow either the state or the health plan to terminate the contract with or without cause. Such contracts are subject to risk of loss in states that issue requests for proposal (“RFP”) open to competitive bidding by other health plans. If one of our health plans is not a successful responsive bidder to a state RFP, its contract may not be renewed. In addition to contract renewal, our state Medicaid contracts may be periodically amended to include or exclude certain health benefits (such as pharmacy services, behavioral health services, or long-term care services); populations such as the aged, blind or disabled (“ABD”); and regions or service areas. In Medicare, we enter into Medicare Advantage-Part D contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) annually, and for dual-eligible plans, we enter into contracts with CMS, in partnership with each state’s department of health and human services. Such contracts typically have terms of one to three years. In Marketplace, we enter into contracts with CMS, which end on December 31 of each year, and must be renewed annually. Recent Developments Texas Procurement—Medicaid. On January 27, 2023, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a notice on its website indicating that it was issuing a Notice of Intent to Award to Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc. a STAR+PLUS ABD contract in each of Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Hidalgo, Jefferson, Northeast Texas, and Tarrant Service Areas. The notice follows a proposal that we submitted in June 2022 to continue serving STAR+PLUS members in the same service areas, in response to an RFP posted in March 2022. The start of operations for the new contract is expected to begin in February 2024. Further, in December 2022, the RFP was posted for the TANF and CHIP programs (known as the STAR & CHIP programs, and both existing contracts for Molina), with awards expected in February 2024 and the start of operations in February 2025. California Procurement—Medicaid. In January 2023, we announced that the California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) had confirmed our California health plan’s footprint as originally announced in August 2022, including Medi-Cal contract awards in each of Riverside, San Bernardino, Sacramento, and San Diego Counties. In Los Angeles County, we will share membership equally with the current commercial incumbent. The Medi-Cal contracts are expected to commence on January 1, 2024, which enables us to continue serving Medi-Cal members in our existing counties and expand our footprint in Los Angeles County. DHCS has also agreed to grant Molina a contract to offer EAE-SNP products for dual eligible members in Los Angeles County. New York Acquisition—Medicaid. On October 1, 2022, we closed on our acquisition of the Medicaid Managed Long Term Care business of AgeWell New York (“AgeWell”). See Note 4, “Business Combinations,” for further information. Nebraska Procurement—Medicaid. In September 2022, we announced that our Nebraska health plan had been selected by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to provide health care services to Nebraskans under the state’s Medicaid managed care program. The new five-year contract is expected to begin on January 1, 2024, and may be extended for an additional two-years. Iowa Procurement—Medicaid. In August 2022, we announced that our Iowa health plan had been notified by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (“Iowa HHS”) of its intent to award a Medicaid managed care contract pursuant to the RFP issued by Iowa HHS in February 2022. The new four-year contract is expected to begin on July 1, 2023, and may be extended for an additional four years. Mississippi Procurement—Medicaid. In August 2022, we announced that our Mississippi health plan had been notified by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (“DOM”) of its intent to award a Medicaid Coordinated Care Contract for its Mississippi Coordinated Access Program and Mississippi Children’s Health Insurance Program pursuant to the Request for Qualifications issued by DOM in December 2021. The four-year contract is expected to begin on July 1, 2023, and may be extended for an additional two years. The award enables us to continue serving Medicaid members across the state. Wisconsin Acquisition—Medicaid and Medicare. On July 13, 2022, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of My Choice Wisconsin (“MCW”). The purchase price for the transaction is approximately $150 million, net of expected tax benefits and required regulatory capital, which we intend to fund with cash on hand. The transaction is subject to receipt of applicable federal and state regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. We currently expect the transaction to close in mid-2023. Nevada Procurement—Medicaid. Our new contract in Clark and Washoe Counties commenced on January 1, 2022, and offers health coverage to TANF, CHIP and Medicaid Expansion beneficiaries. This new contract is four years with a potential two-year extension. Texas Acquisition—Medicaid and Medicare. On January 1, 2022, we closed on our acquisition of Cigna Corporation’s Texas Medicaid and Medicare-Medicaid Plan (“MMP”) contracts, along with certain operating assets. See Note 4, “Business Combinations,” for further information. Consolidation and Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Molina Healthcare, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial information related to subsidiaries acquired during any year is included only for periods subsequent to their acquisition. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results as of the date and for the periods presented have been included; such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
