Gold Coast, Ventura County Clinics Reach Medi-Cal Deal

This week, Gold Coast Health Plan  reached an agreement with Clinicas del Camino Real that gives the clinic network greater oversight of its 14,000 patients with Medi-Cal coverage. Under the agreement, Clinicas will receive higher Medi-Cal payments in return for taking on more responsibilities and a greater share of the financial risks. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program.
