UCLA Health Patients Seek New Doctors

Thousands of low-income, medically vulnerable patients are facing disruptions after UCLA Health terminated a longstanding Medi-Cal contract that provided specialty care to 9,000 patients from Health Care LA. The contract ended June 30, leading to delays and cancellations for patients requiring complex treatments, such as cancer care and organ transplants. UCLA offered to continue care for existing patients but declined to take on new referrals due to capacity issues, citing a dispute over contract renewal and concerns about resource limitations. The situation highlights ongoing tensions over UCLA’s capacity to serve low-income populations amid its expansion efforts.
