State Fair Hearing

In addition to the grievance processes offered by Molina Healthcare, members have the right to request a Fair Hearing from the State of Wisconsin at any time during the process. They have a right to request a Fair Hearing even if a complaint or grievance hasn’t been filed with Molina Healthcare and/or if a health care service the member or the member’s doctor requested has been denied, delayed, or modified. Members may request a State Fair Hearing by contacting the State of Wisconsin Division of Hearings and Appeals (DHA) within ninety (45) days after the order or action complained of:

If you want to talk to someone outside of Molina Healthcare Health Plan about the problem, call the HMO Enrollment Specialist at (800) 291-2002.  The Enrollment Specialist may be able to help you solve the problem, or can help you write a formal grievance to Molina Healthcare Health Plan or to the BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI programs.
You may also file a complaint with the Wisconsin BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI Program.  Please call Molina Healthcare’s Member Advocate if you need help to write a formal grievance to Molina Healthcare Health Plan or to the BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI programs.
