Molina Healthcare: timely filing limit
Initial claim
No published default
Timely filing limits vary by contract. We could not confirm a single default limit that applies across every Molina Healthcare contract, so we are not going to state one. Check your own participation agreement, or the payer portal, before relying on a number for this deadline.
Clock starts from: date of service, or the date on the primary payer's EOB when Molina is secondary, or the date of retroactive eligibility notification for newly enrolled members
Appeal window
No published default appeal window. Check the payer's own appeals policy.
Caveats
Molina timely filing is set at the state Medicaid contract level and differs significantly by market; the figures here come from a secondary industry summary, not Molina's own published policy documents, so confirm against the specific state provider manual before acting.
