She provides no data on compensation for surgery. It's a good bet that there is a reason.

That could well be true.

What if surgery wasn't needed?

looks like Medi-Cal still pays more than Medicaid here in NY. $6 bucks for a 99212.

and they get THEIR FRIGGIN GAS MONEY PAID BACK TO THEM by NYS tooo!!!

tell your insurance company you want your gas paid for when you go see your Dr. and they'd laugh to death.

Medi-Cal compensation for surgery is just as pathetic as for office visits. I'd be amazed if she made as much as $300 for the procedure. She is basically giving charity care here.
