Transferring Medi-Cal Insurance


It can be confusing dealing with CA State Medi-Cal insurance when purchasing a practice. Calls to the Medi-Cal office often brings no relief. Tim Robertson, OD has found the following useful link that will save you time without having to ask Medi-Cal questions. It also allows the purchasing doctor to continue Medi-Cal for patients without interruption .

If you are buying a second practice and currently have Medi-Cal in your original office, Tim can show you chapter and verse of Medi-Cal code that allows you to bill through you primary office until the Medi-Cal number is set up in the branch office. (Even the people in the Medi-Cal office were unaware until Tim read it over the phone to them)


GEOS applauds Tim's tenacity. Mark up one for the good guys!!!
