ED Doctors Sue State for Better Reimbursements
Emergency department physicians have filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Health Care Services for better reimbursement for uninsured patients and Medi-Cal beneficiaries. In the past decade, 85 hospitals and 55 EDs have closed in the state, and the doctors argue that many more hospitals are in jeopardy of bankruptcy or closure due to a surge in unemployed patients.
