ACWDL 10-19: Removal Of Meds Access For County Clinic Staff (12/10/10)

Busted.  During a privacy and security assessment, DHCS found that some CWDs provided the MEDS accounts to clinic staff for purposes other than administering the Medi-Cal Program. The county clinic staff were using the MEDS system to perform Medi-Cal eligibility verifications for provider billing purposes. This is not an appropriate use, and counties are to terminate access immediately. [Download]
