The California Orthotics and Prosthetics Association (COPA) is pleased to
announce that on Friday, February 17th, the Governor signed SB 912,
which eliminates the 5% Medi-Cal provider cut for the remainder of 2006.
Please see the attached signing message. The cut will be reinstated no
later than Friday, March 3, 2006. COPA, in conjunction with groups such
as the CA Medical Association, must be commended for its steadfast
leadership on this issue. COPA delivered a compelling fact sheet to the
legislature about the impacts of these cuts and COPA's new lobbyist,
Bryce Docherty, was involved in advocating for the passage of SB 912 to
remove the cuts. Docherty is already proving to be an effective new
element to COPA's legislative team. In addition to the reversal of the
cuts, please be sure that you are signed up for COPA's new e-letter
because results of Med-Cal's rate study for O&P will be posted in that
publication as soon as they become available.
