Will I get to keep my primary care physician?
A great deal of Molina primary care physicians
are in network for HealthPlus. If your PCP is in the
Molina network, the answer is yes. If he or she is not
in Molina’s network, your doctor visits are covered at

Molina Healthcare will provide transportation
IMPORTANT – Please know, Walgreens decided
not to participate in the CVS Care Choices
Pharmacy Network. This means if you get your
prescriptions at Walgreens, you will need to move
your prescriptions to a pharmacy in the CVS Care
Choices Pharmacy Network. HealthPlus and Molina
are working together to allow some members to
continue receiving drugs from Walgreens for a limited
time. Those members have been notified by mail.
You can move your prescriptions by going to
another pharmacy and asking the pharmacist to call
your Walgreens and transfer your prescription. There
are many pharmacies in the network that will be able
to fill your prescriptions. Some of the pharmacies are:
• CVS Pharmacy
• Costco Pharmacy
• Kroger Pharmacy
• Rite Aid Pharmacy
• Sam’s Club Pharmacy
• Target Pharmacy
• Meijer Pharmacy
• Wal-Mart Pharmacy
