This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron provide an update on the debt ceiling talks in Washington. Now that a tentative deal has been agreed to, what delays, if any, can providers expect from Medicare payments?

Then, a new budget deal in Sacramento may raise reimbursement for some office visits and maternity care for Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. How much of an increase could physicians see and is it enough to keep doctors in-network for the program?

Plus, Democratic lawmakers there are at odds with Governor Gavin Newsom over a tax he collected but then didn’t use. Matthew and Ron break down the fight.
