California Court of Appeal January 3, 2007, C049827 (Oroville Hospital v. Department of Health Services)

Opinion

SCOTLAND, P. J.

Under California’s Medi-Cal program, a health care provider who furnishes medical assistance to the poor may seek reimbursement from the government for certain expenses, including the cost of employee health care benefits. If the provider is self-insured for such employee benefits, they are allowable costs only if the self-insurance program meets specific requirements.
