      <title>CHCF: Riverside County Faces $11.6B Medi-Cal Disruption — Centro Medico (15K Patients) Warns of Dental, Vision, and Months-Long Wait Eliminations</title>

      <description>A new CHCF brief documents Riverside County FQHC-level distress: Centro Medico Community Clinic (15,000 patients across 5 Inland Empire locations, nearly all Medi-Cal) warns federal cuts would force elimination of dental, vision, and podiatry services first, followed by months-long appointment delays. $11.57 billion in Medi-Cal funding flowed through Riverside County in 2024 — 34% of district residents enrolled. The African American Health Coalition (San Bernardino + Riverside) flags compounding mental health access risks.

      <title>Inland Empire: ~1.5M IEHP Members at Risk as Medi-Cal Cuts Loom</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/ie-medi-cal-1-6m-at-risk</link>
      <description>The Inland Empire Health Plan serves ~1.5M members across Riverside (42% enrolled) and San Bernardino (45% enrolled) counties. Projected $10-20B annual state Medi-Cal cuts could force clinics to cut dental, vision, and podiatry services first. Centro Medico (15,000 patients, nearly all Medi-Cal) warns of months-long waits. IEHP contracts with 9,000 providers, hundreds of clinics, and every hospital in both counties.
