What's covered
Passport coverage highlights.
Passport Health Plan by Molina Healthcare is one of Kentucky Medicaid's original managed care organizations, serving Medicaid members across all 120 Kentucky counties. Passport covers substance use disorder (SUD) treatment as a core benefit, including medical detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment.
- Residential addiction treatment (ASAM 3.1, 3.3, 3.5) subject to medical necessity
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP, ASAM 2.5) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP, ASAM 2.1)
- Outpatient SUD counseling with no visit cap when medically necessary
- Medication-Assisted Treatment — Suboxone, Subutex, methadone, Vivitrol, and oral naltrexone
- Integrated behavioral health benefits for co-occurring mental health conditions
- Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to SUD appointments
Levels of care covered

These are the levels Passport covers as a Kentucky Medicaid benefit — not a list of what Golden Grove will provide. Golden Grove will offer residential care; if you need medical detox first, admissions will help arrange it. The card that links through is the residential level it offers; the rest are covered elsewhere in the state.

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 members with co-occurring substance use and mental health needs.
