Supervisor Lawson-Remer to ask colleagues for $1 million to study whether more can be done to improve reimbursements
After an initial discussion with medical providers in San Diego County, Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer says she is convinced that the region is leaving Medi-Cal reimbursement on the table, and that's money that could be used to improve the reimbursement rates that fund care for nearly 1 million San Diego County residents. On Tuesday, the supervisor will ask her colleagues to take a slate of actions geared toward making improved Medi-Cal reimbursements a board priority.
'Obtaining the federal match is sort of managed by the Department of Health Care Services for Medi-Cal managed care plans,' Simon said. 'You definitely don't lobby for it locally.' The state does allow counties to choose how they want to handle managed care companies operating within their boundaries. Counties can create their own plans and contract directly with the state, have a county plan and a commercial plan, allow two commercial plans or allow several plans to operate.
