Medi-Cal Recipients Needed for Focus Groups

Medi-Cal recipients can earn $100 for participating in a two-hour discussion group about how people with regular Medi-Cal feel about the program. The discussion groups will help a local organization learn how to improve care, work better with patients, and understand patient needs and problems with getting services. You must be a San Francisco County resident to participate.
