Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Operations

Molina Healthcare, Inc. provides quality managed health care to people receiving government assistance. We offer cost-effective Medicaid-related solutions to meet the health care needs of low-income families and individuals, and to assist government agencies in their administration of the Medicaid program. We have three reportable segments, consisting of our Health Plans segment, which constitutes the vast majority of our operations; our Molina Medicaid Solutions segment; and our Other segment.

The Health Plans segment consists of health plans operating in 13 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. As of September 30, 2018, these health plans served approximately 4.0 million members eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored health care programs for low-income families and individuals. This membership includes Affordable Care Act Marketplace (Marketplace) members, most of whom receive government premium subsidies. The health plans are operated by our respective wholly owned subsidiaries in those states, each of which is licensed as a health maintenance organization (HMO).

Our health plans’ state Medicaid contracts generally have terms of three to five years. These contracts typically contain renewal options exercisable by the state Medicaid agency, and allow either the state or the health plan to terminate the contract with or without cause. Such contracts are subject to risk of loss in states that issue requests for proposal (RFP) open to competitive bidding by other health plans. If one of our health plans is not a successful responsive bidder to a state RFP, its contract may not be renewed.

In addition to contract renewal, our state Medicaid contracts may be periodically amended to include or exclude certain health benefits (such as pharmacy services, behavioral health services, or long-term care services); populations such as the aged, blind or disabled (ABD); and regions or service areas.

The Molina Medicaid Solutions segment provides support to state government agencies’ administration of their Medicaid programs, including business processing, information technology development and administrative services. The Other segment includes primarily our behavioral health and social services provider subsidiary (Pathways), and corporate amounts not allocated to other reportable segments.

Recent Developments – Health Plans Segment

New Mexico Health Plan. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017, we reported that we were notified by the New Mexico Medicaid agency that we had not been selected for a tentative award of a 2019 Medicaid contract. A hearing was held on our judicial protest on October 17, 2018, with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2018. Regardless of the court’s decision on our protest, we would have further rights of appeal. We are continuing to manage the business in run-off until such time as a different outcome is determined. As of September 30, 2018, we served approximately 206,000 Medicaid members in New Mexico, which represented premium revenue of $891 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Puerto Rico Health Plan. In July 2018, our Puerto Rico health plan was selected by the Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration to be one of the organizations to administer the Commonwealth’s new Medicaid Managed Care contract. We expect to serve approximately 290,000 members under the new contract. The base contract runs for a period of three years with an optional one-year extension. As of September 30, 2018, we served approximately 320,000 Medicaid members in the East and Southwest regions of Puerto Rico, which represented premium revenue of $549 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Florida Health Plan. In June 2018, our Florida health plan was awarded comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care contracts by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) in Regions 8 and 11 of the Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Invitation to Negotiate. As of September 30, 2018, we served approximately 96,000 Medicaid members in those regions, which represented premium revenue of approximately $346 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Services under the new contract are expected to begin on January 1, 2019. We will be serving both the Medicaid and long-term care populations in the two regions.

Washington Health Plan. In May 2018, our Washington health plan was selected by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to enter into a managed care contract for the eight remaining regions of the state’s Apple Health Integrated Managed Care program, in addition to the two regions previously awarded to us. We were selected by HCA for the following regions: Greater Columbia, King, North Sound, Pierce, and Spokane beginning January 1, 2019; and Salish, Thurston-Mason, and Great Rivers beginning January 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2018, we served approximately 738,000 Medicaid members in Washington, which represented premium revenue of $1,558 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Recent Developments – Molina Medicaid Solutions Segment

We closed on the sale of Molina Medicaid Solutions (MMS) to DXC Technology Company on September 30, 2018. The net cash selling price for the equity interests of MMS was $233 million, which we received on October 1, 2018. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a pretax gain, net of transaction costs, of $37 million. Refer to Note 11, “Segments,” for further information.

Subsequent Event – Other Segment

On October 19, 2018, we sold our Pathways subsidiary to Pyramid Health Holdings, LLC for a nominal purchase price. We expect to record a loss on sale of subsidiary amounting to approximately $40 million, net of income tax benefits.

Presentation and Reclassification

We have reclassified certain amounts in the 2017 consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to the 2018 presentation, relating to the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents. The reclassification is a result of our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-18, Restricted Cash effective January 1, 2018. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for further information, including the amount reclassified.

We have combined certain line items in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For all periods presented, we have combined the presentation of:


•	Income taxes refundable with “Prepaid expenses and other current assets;”


•	Income taxes payable with “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities;”


•	Goodwill, and intangible assets, net to a single line; and


•	Deferred contract costs with “Other assets.”

Consolidation and Interim Financial Information

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Molina Healthcare, Inc., its subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Molina Healthcare, Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary. Such VIEs are insignificant to our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results as of the date and for the interim periods presented have been included; such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2018.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that users of the interim financial data have either read or have access to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
