California Medicaid and Van Nuys routing.
Medi-Cal covers home health billing for eligible California beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population.

Across Van Nuys's 684 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
