Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
Molina Healthcare of Ohio, Inc., the Company's health plan subsidiary operating in the State of Ohio, has been informed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) that the rates to be paid by ODJFS under the parties' Covered Families and Children (CFC) program contract and their Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) program contract will be revised for the contract period from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Based on the current membership mix of its Ohio health plan, the Company estimates that its blended per member per month revenue earned under the amended CFC program contract will increase by approximately 5%, and that its blended per member per month revenue earned under its ABD program contract will increase by approximately 3 1/2%. The Company anticipates that the revised rates will increase the income before taxes of its Ohio health plan by approximately $500,000 per month for the second half of 2008. As of March 31, 2008, there were approximately 125,000 CFC Medicaid members and approximately 15,000 ABD Medicaid members served by Molina Healthcare of Ohio. Revenues from Molina Healthcare of Ohio represented approximately 17% of the Company's consolidated premium revenues through the first three months of the 2008 fiscal year.

In addition, Mercy CarePlus, the Company's health plan subsidiary operating in the State of Missouri, has entered into a contract amendment with the state which revises, effective as of July 1, 2008, the current rates paid to Mercy CarePlus under its MC+ Managed Care program contract. The term of the contract extends through June 30, 2009. The revised rates include, among other things, the addition of a delivery case rate, and the reduction of rates paid for medical services provided to women of ages 14 to 44. The Company believes that the overall effect of the rate revisions will be to increase Mercy CarePlus' blended per member per month revenue by approximately 6%. The Company is currently analyzing the potential impact of these rate revisions upon the anticipated results of operations of its Missouri health plan for the second half of 2008. The full-year 2008 earnings guidance issued by the Company on January 22, 2008, as revised on April 29, 2008, assumed a rate increase of 3% for the Missouri health plan for the second half of 2008. As of March 31, 2008, there were approximately 76,000 Medicaid members served by Mercy CarePlus. Revenues from Mercy CarePlus represented approximately 7% of the Company's consolidated premium revenues through the first three months of the 2008 fiscal year.

Information concerning additional risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially is contained in the Company's latest Form 10-K annual report, its Form 10-Q quarterly reports, and the Company's other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available for viewing on its website at www.sec.gov.
