Molina Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:MOH) today announced that its Ohio health plan subsidiary has been selected as an awardee in all three regions across the state pursuant to the Medicaid managed care RFA issued on September 30, 2020, by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM).

The new contract for Molina's Ohio health plan is expected to begin in early 2022, and will offer health care coverage to Medicaid beneficiaries through the State of Ohio's Covered Family and Children, Expansion, and Aged, Blind or Disabled programs which in total cover approximately 3.0 million members.

"We are honored that ODM has selected Molina to continue to serve the state's most vulnerable citizens, as we have been proud to do for more than 15 years," said Ami Cole, president of Molina's Ohio health plan. "We are thrilled to be part of Ohio's implementation of exciting and forward-thinking approaches in its next generation of managed care."
