What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Molina Healthcare announced on February 5, 2026, that it would exit the traditional Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) product for 2027. The company stated this strategic shift allows it to focus exclusively on dual-eligible members in Medicare. Formal notices regarding the nonrenewal of these plans are being sent to affected members in early October. The company is currently pursuing new Duals contracts in Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio.
