Prior authorization

How auth works with Passport.

Passport typically requires prior authorization for residential SUD treatment and for some MAT prescriptions. Outpatient SUD and PHP/IOP admissions are generally handled through notification and concurrent review rather than a multi-day pre-auth.

Member benefits

Beyond clinical coverage.

Members receive a pharmacy benefit through Molina's formulary, member services at 1-800-578-0603, and access to Molina's care management team for complex SUD and dual-diagnosis cases.
