How does the discontinuation of the Medi-Cal contract affect patients coming to Simi Valley Hospital?
Simi Valley Hospital is committed to providing medical services to every patient coming into our care. Medi-Cal patients—like all of our patients—will continue to have access to our Emergency Department for immediate, lifesaving care regardless of insurance or their ability to pay. Further, Simi Valley Hospital will continue to admit Medi-Cal patients for inpatient care when appropriate—the provision of the highest quality health care services will continue regardless of your insurance coverage (or lack thereof). In the event that a Medi-Cal patient is admitted to Simi Valley Hospital, our staff will make arrangements to have them transported to a nearby Medi-Cal designated facility once they are stable and deemed appropriate for transport by the attending physician.
