All clinical practice guidelines are based on scientific evidence, review of the medical literature, or appropriately established authority, as cited. All recommendations are based on published consensus guidelines (National Guideline Clearinghouse) and do not favor any particular treatment based solely on cost considerations.

The recommendations for care are suggested as guides for making clinical decisions. Clinicians and their patients must work together to develop individual treatment plans that are tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each patient.

To request a copy of any guideline, please contact Molina's Provider Services at 888-665-4621.
