NEW MEXICO COULD LOSE MOLINA HEALTHCARE. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS COURT DOCUMENTS INDICATE MOLINA WILL PROBABLY PULL OUT OF THE STATE OVER LOSING ITS MEDICAID CONTRACT WITH THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE FILINGS SAY MEDICAID IS THE BIGGEST PART OF ITS BUSINESS IN THE STATE.
MOLINA NOW WANTS AN INJUNCTION AND A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND ITS SECRETARY TO KEEP THE STATE FROM MOVING AHEAD WITH WHAT MOLINA CALLS AN UNFAIR PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
THE COMPANY SAYS IT EMPLOYS MORE THAN A-THOUSAND EMPLOYEES IN NEW MEXICO AND THEIR SALARIES AMOUNTED TO 12-POINT-6 MILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR.
