California Medical Groups File Lawsuit Over Medi-Cal Cuts

The California Hospital Association filed a lawsuit earlier this month against the state and the Department of Health and Human Service over the 10 percent reimbursement cuts under Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, and now four more medical groups are filing a lawsuit, according to an Associated Press/Sacramento Bee report.

The California Medical Association, California Dental Association, California Pharmacists Association and National Association of Chain Drug Stores are suing the state and HHS, saying the Medi-Cal reimbursement cuts did not go through appropriate legal channels, according to the report.


Last month, CMS approved the cuts, which are expected to save California $623 million this year and next.
