This branch documents the $12,500 suit against L.A. Care for defaulting on the DHCS 4521 (Conlan) reimbursement process. The litigation is predicated on L.A. Care's failure to provide an expedited hearing and its refusal to reimburse out-of-pocket medical costs necessitated by documented network inadequacy, a direct violation of the Conlan v. Shewry mandate and the Knox-Keene Act. Hearing scheduled for May 2026.
Notice dated 03/18/2026 vs. actual postmark 03/19/2026. This proves the County failed to meet the 72-hour expedited hearing mandate filed on March 15th.
