Ep. 52 - Reimbursement boost to Medi-Cal and other CA stories

The FLATLINING Podcast from Fulcrum Strategies

This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron provide an update on the debt ceiling talks in Washington. Now that a tentative deal has been agreed to, what delays, if any, can providers expect from Medicare payments? Then, a new budget deal in Sacramento may raise reimbursement for some office visits and maternity care for Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. How much of an increase could physicians see and is it enough to keep doctors in-network for the program? Plus, Democratic lawmakers there are at odds with Governor Gavin Newsom over a tax he collected but then didn’t use. Matthew and Ron break down the fight.
