CalACEP Executive Director Elena Lopez-Gusma joins us on the podcast for a legislative and advocacy update.
We discuss the Managed Care Organization (MCO) tax and and the roller coaster ride of getting the tax renewed and dedicated for Medi-Cal funding in 2023, only to have that revoked in the Governor’s proposed budget in an attempt to backfill the budget deficit, and the strategic and hard work of the CalACEP staff to keep the share of the MCO tax dedicated to emergency physicians on table to go into effect in January 2025.
The California ACEP Podcast is produced by the staff and volunteer leaders at California ACEP as well as Marco Gonzalez, our sound engineer.
California ACEP’s mission is to support emergency physicians in providing the highest quality of care to all of our patients and their communities.
