Molina, UnitedHealthcare, Superior, and Wellpoint STAR+PLUS: What Families Should Ask

STAR+PLUS members choose a managed-care organization (MCO). Plans differ in networks and coordination, so it pays to ask the right questions.

The main STAR+PLUS MCOs

Depending on the service area, STAR+PLUS members may choose among plans such as Molina Healthcare, UnitedHealthcare, Superior HealthPlan, Wellpoint (formerly Amerigroup), and others. Available plans vary by region.

Questions to ask your MCO

• Does my plan cover STAR+PLUS HCBS assisted-living services?
• Is Reunion Inn or my chosen facility able to work with this plan?
• Who is my service coordinator and how do I reach them?
• What is the interest-list and approval timeline?
• How is the room-and-board charge and applied income handled?
