Getting the Care You Need
Here are some tips to help you
get the health care you need.
See your primary doctor for a
health checkup. Many people wait
until they are very sick to see a doctor.
You do not need to wait. Make
sure you schedule a checkup before
you get sick. This will help you and
your children stay healthy.
Your primary doctor can handle most of your health care needs. But sometimes you have special problems such as a broken bone or heart disease. You may need to visit a doctor who has extra training. This doctor is called a specialist. If you need to see one, your primary doctor will make sure you see the right one.
When you travel away from your hometown, Molina Healthcare pays for emergency care for you. You may go to a local emergency room (ER) or an urgent care clinic. Tell them you are a Molina Healthcare member. Show them your Molina Healthcare ID card. But don’t forget, routine care is not covered when you travel away from home.
Let your doctor know if you have visited any of the following locations:
- ER
- Hospital
- Urgent care
- Specialist
Are you having trouble speaking to your doctor in English? You have a right to an interpreter. There is no cost to you. Tell the office staff if you would prefer to talk in your own language. If you need help, call Member Services.
