The Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) has increased staffing for and reorganized its Provider Complaint Division, including an all new web interface for this purpose.

DMHC has vowed to demonstrate a renewed commitment to be more provider and consumer friendly and more aggressive in following up on complaints that you may have with plans.

Take them up on their commitment if you need assistance.

Also, the DMHC Help Center is designed for patients to use with their complaints. That telephone number is 1-888-466-2219.

Regulators can’t regulate unless you complain, give them something to work with!!
