Colleagues:
Medi-Cal has recently established a new requirement that anyone Medi-Cal
recipient who uses a ventilator must undergo an arterial blood gasses test
to verify that that individual needs a ventilator. This procedure is not
only invasive and excruciating, it is useless in determining that someone
who is already using a ventilator still needs one. A regular ventilator
user would have to discontinue using their vent for several days or a week
in order to obtain a blood gasses test out of the normal range.
Discontinuing vent use would, of course, put them at risk.
If you or someone you know has encountered this new policy, please have
them and/or their physician contact me. Please forward this message.
