CAMPS has previously reported on our efforts to get retroactive relief from the 10% Medi-Cal rate cut that occurred from July 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009. At the time of our last report the federal court injunction that stopped the cut for some providers was upheld in the Court of Appeal and it seemed likely that the final order would also be expanded to include DME and supplies. CAMPS learned this past Friday that the Federal Court has granted our motion to intervene. This means that DME and supplies will be included in the retroactive relief. The DHCS' requested a review by the US Supreme Court, which is the only appeal mechanism left in this process. The Supreme Court does not accept or agree to review many of the appeals that are presented, e.g. only about 10% of the appeals. There has been no new word on whether or not the US Supreme Court will review the appeal.
