Our California health plan has entered into a provider agreement with Pacific Healthcare IPA (Pacific), which is 50% owned by the brother-in-law of Dr. J. Mario Molina and John C. Molina. Under the terms of this provider agreement, the California health plan pays Pacific for medical care Pacific provides to health plan members. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the amounts paid to Pacific were insignificant.
Refer to Note 13, “Variable Interest Entities (VIEs),” for a discussion of the Joseph M. Molina, M.D. Professional Corporations.
