Navajo National Collaboration Could Greatly Boost Molina’s Flagging Fortunes in New Mexico

A recent article in Health Payer Specialist, “Navajo National Collaboration Could Greatly Boost Molina’s Flagging Fortunes in New Mexico,” discussed how Molina Healthcare, through the Navajo Managed Care Organization (MCO), is working to better the healthcare of the Navajo Nation while bolstering its own bottom line. Rivkin Radler’s Chris Kutner was quoted in the article.

According to the article, the MCO will offer traditional tribal healing techniques, enhanced dental care, and telehealth services for people living in remote areas, in addition to traditional health coverage. Programs will also be developed to address social determinants of health.

“It’s genius,” Chris said. “What is appropriate healthcare here in New York may not be in the Southwest. I think the Navajo population has similar ailments, and designing a plan specific to their issues is a good way to address them.”
