Member Rights & Responsibilities

Doctor and patient talking

Did you know that when you join Molina Healthcare you have certain rights and responsibilities? Knowing your rights and responsibilities will help you, your family, your provider and Molina Healthcare ensure that you get the covered services and care that you need.

Being treated with courtesy and respect
As a Molina Healthcare of Wisconsin member, you have the right to be treated with courtesy and respect. When you call us, we try very hard to treat you with kindness and empathy. It is very important to us that you feel valued and heard. In fact, we must obey laws that protect you from discrimination and unfair treatment. 

If you ever feel like you are not being treated with courtesy and respect by your provider or anyone on the Molina team, please call (888) 999-2404 and ask to speak with the Molina Member Advocate. Your advocate will make sure your concerns are resolved quickly and fairly. You can also read more about your rights in the Molina Member Handbook.
