These explain exactly what I have experienced with Covered California. Its not good. There are basically two experiences. Its free and great because its free(the others are paying for it), or it sucks because there are so few doctors on it because they slashed the reimbursements.
Try changing something to.....Imagine making a change in your car insurance, but that change has to go through the DMV! Thats what its like... Its really terrible.


But in the second article it states that physician payment schedules were increased in 2014, have you had this problem since they were increased? I'm not sure why people in Humboldt County aren't talking to their congressional reps about this.

My experience with the two docs was in the last 4 months. Im not sure if theyve increased, but if they were running around 50-55% of traditional insurance then I think theyd have to get to 70% to get some of the doctors back or in the system.

The state has set up a new website where consumers can check medical prices and quality scores. (The article contains more information).
