A federal judge blocked the Medi-Cal payment reductions that were to help California reduce it's budget deficit by $623 million. U.S. District Court Judge Christina A. Snyder ruled that the state can not reduce payments to doctors, dentists, and other providers by 10%. This ruling will help to lessen the burden being placed on the lowest income members of California. The proposed 10% cuts would have caused an even greater loss of medical professionals that would agree to treat Medi-Cal patients. Most Medi-Cal providers state that providing benefits to these people is a "contribution" physicians make to society, because doing so costs them money.
California officials state that the proposed cuts would still allow the state to meet the standards of care set forth by the federal government. They anticipate the ruling will be overturned.
Stay tuned for more...
