California Court of Appeal
American Indian Health etc. v. Kent , 081338
Affirmed. Defendants appeal from a judgment that requires them to pay for dental, chiropractic and podiatric services provided to Medi-Cal patients from 2009 to 2013. Prior to 2009 the claims were processed and paid, but in 2009, as a cost-cutting measure under the Welfare and Institutions Code section 14131.10, the payments were stopped. The Ninth Circuit ruled section 14131.10 invalid (California Assn. of Rural Health Clinics v. Douglas (9th Cir. 2013) 738 F.3d 1007). The appellate court affirmed the judgment stating that lawsuit was not barred by sovereign immunity or the spending clause.
