Heath Law Alliance is proud to announce a major legal victory on behalf of its pharmacy client in California: the full reversal of a Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) payment suspension imposed by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
Medi-Cal payment suspensions are serious administrative actions that can jeopardize a pharmacy’s business operations, reputation, and its ability to service its patients. These payment suspensions are often triggered by preliminary audit findings and/or other unverified suspicions of wrongdoing. In this case, DHCS initiated a payment suspension based on speculative allegations and incomplete evidence.
Heath Law Alliance intervened immediately. Our legal team crafted a number of strategic and persuasive appeals, demonstrating that the Department’s allegations failed to meet the legal standards required under both state and federal law. After a thorough review, the Office of Administrative Hearings and Appeals agreed with our position and issued a decision reversing the payment suspension in full.
This outcome underscores the importance of experienced legal counsel when dealing with Medicaid and/or any other insurance payors. It highlights our firm’s commitment to aggressive advocacy and unwavering defense of healthcare providers’ rights and business operations.
