Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Operations Molina Healthcare, Inc. provides managed healthcare services under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, and through the state insurance marketplaces (the “Marketplace”). We currently have two reportable segments: the Health Plans segment and the Other segment. Our reportable segments are consistent with how we currently manage the business and view the markets we serve. As of September 30, 2020, the Health Plans segment consisted of health plans operating in 15 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and served approximately 4.0 million members eligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored healthcare programs for low-income families and individuals, including Marketplace members, most of whom receive government premium subsidies. The health plans are generally operated by our respective wholly owned subsidiaries in those states and licensed as health maintenance organizations (“HMO”). Our state Medicaid contracts typically have terms of three to five years, 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 (“RFPs”) 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; and regions or service areas. Recent Developments - Health Plans Segment New York. In September 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Affinity Health Plan, Inc. The net purchase price for the transaction is approximately $380 million, subject to various adjustments at closing, which we intend to fund with cash on hand. We currently expect the transaction to close as early as the second quarter of 2021. In July 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of YourCare Health Plan, Inc. See Note 4, “Business Combinations,” for further information. Kentucky. In September 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Passport Health Plan, Inc. See Note 4, “Business Combinations,” for further information. In May 2020, our Kentucky health plan had been selected as an awardee pursuant to the statewide Medicaid managed care RFP issued by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Medicaid Services. On October 23, 2020, pursuant to a protest filing appeal with regard to the RFP awards, a court ordered the addition of a sixth health plan to the Kentucky Medicaid program for 2021. That ruling did not rescind the Medicaid contract award to our Kentucky health plan for 2021, nor did it have any impact on the earlier novation of the Passport Medicaid contract to us. The new Medicaid contract is currently expected to begin on January 1, 2021. Acquisition of Magellan Complete Care (“MCC”). In April 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the MCC line of business of Magellan Health, Inc. The purchase price for the transaction is approximately $820 million, net of certain tax benefits, which we intend to fund with cash on hand. The transaction is subject to federal and state regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close around the end of 2020. In connection with this transaction, Magellan Health, Inc. has agreed to provide certain transition services following the closing. Texas. In March 2020, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (“HHSC”) notified our Texas health plan that HHSC had upheld our protest and had canceled all previously awarded contracts associated with the re-procurement awards announced in October 2019 for the ABD program (known in Texas as “STAR+PLUS”). In addition, HHSC canceled the pending re-procurement associated with the TANF and CHIP programs (known in Texas as “STAR/CHIP”). HHSC further indicated that it was deliberating next steps with respect to both re-procurements. Puerto Rico. We will exit Puerto Rico’s Medicaid program when our current contract expires on October 31, 2020. We are working closely with the regulatory authorities and the provider community to ensure that our members in Puerto Rico have reliable continuity of care. Illinois. In March 2020, we terminated our agreement to acquire all of the capital stock of NextLevel Health Partners, Inc. due to the seller’s stated unwillingness to close pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement. Consolidation and Interim Financial Information The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Molina Healthcare, Inc., and its subsidiaries. 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, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2020. 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, 2019. Accordingly, certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our December 31, 2019, 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, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Principal areas requiring the use of estimates include: •The determination of medical claims and benefits payable of our Health Plans segment; •Health Plans segment contractual provisions that may limit revenue recognition based upon the costs incurred or the profits realized under a specific contract; •Health Plans segment quality incentives that allow us to recognize incremental revenue if certain quality standards are met; •Settlements under risk- or savings-sharing programs; •Purchase price allocations relating to business combinations, including the determination of contingent consideration; •The assessment of long-lived and intangible assets, and goodwill for impairment; •The determination of reserves for potential absorption of claims unpaid by insolvent providers; •The determination of reserves for the outcome of litigation; •The determination of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; and •The determination of unrecognized tax benefits.
