Tehama County opts for local control of medical services

Red Bluff Daily News
Tehama County joined with seven other Northern California counties Tuesday in expressing its desire to maintain local control when the state changes the way rural Medi-Cal recipients receive their health services June 1. As part of Gov. Jerry Brown's budget the 28 rural counties who operate under a fee-for-service health care delivery system will switch to a managed care system, more similar to commercial HMOs.
