§ 14075

The Legislature intends that Medi-Cal recipients have reasonable access to medical care services and especially to primary and maternity care services. In order to obtain such access, the Legislature intends that, to the extent feasible and permitted by federal law, physicians be reimbursed equally statewide for comparable services, at a rate sufficient to provide Medi-Cal recipients with such reasonable access, and also intends that higher rates be paid, relatively, for providing primary and maternity care services.
