The executive director of the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration (ASES), Jorge Galva Rodríguez, confirmed today that they were notified yesterday of the start of an asset sale process for the insurer Molina Healthcare and assured that, since then, the agency began a process to establish the guidelines on an organized transition and the due notifications to the pertinent state and federal agencies.
“We regret the business decision of insurer Molina Healthcare who participates as a Managed Care Management Organization (MCOs) for the government’s health plan. Currently, this insurer has nearly 200,000 beneficiaries of the Vital Plan. The control measures that we are taking have the objective that the patients are not affected by this process, and once the assets are sold we have an orderly transition between the parties ”, Galva Rodríguez reported in a statement.
“I have to be emphatic in addressing beneficiaries and providers that this is not an immediate process, so services will continue under Molina Healthcare until they notify us of whom of the proposing insurers is awarded the purchase. This process will be transparent and we have taken control measures to guarantee access to the services of the beneficiaries and to the contractual relationship with the providers to ensure an effective process on the pending payments for the services of the health providers contracted under the insurer. , among other measures ”, assured the executive director.
Since 2015, Molina participates in the government health plan.
