Will Simi Valley Hospital have a Medi-Cal contract in the future?
We are hopeful that CMAC and Simi Valley Hospital can come to an agreement that would provide for complete reimbursement of all services provided to Medi-Cal patients. The former Medi-Cal agreement only provided for direct costs, such as nursing, clinical care and supplies. We have a mission to provide for the medical needs of our entire community and with the reimbursement rates structured as they were in the previous Medi-Cal agreement, our ability to invest vital dollars back into the community was greatly restricted.
