DMHC Orders Health Plans To Stop Sending Customers to Medical Group Affiliated With Daughters of Charity

Last month, the Department of Managed Health Care sent a "cease-and-desist" order that prohibits 10 major California health plans from sending new customers to a 500-physician medical group affiliated with Daughters of Charity Health System. The order, which went into effect Thursday, said the health system does not comply with DMHC's minimum solvency standards.
