ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of PAC & Forth, we break down AB 1041, PAC’s first sponsored legislation, and the real-world problem it was designed to solve: broken, slow, and inconsistent provider credentialing that delays patient access to care.
Joining us are Dr. Join Luh, radiation oncologist in Eureka, and Flo Di Benedetto, PAC’s General Counsel and former Chief Legal Officer at Sutter Health. Together, they unpack how credentialing delays were impacting independent physicians and why reform was long overdue.
This conversation explores:
- How credentialing delays of 6–12 months kept physicians from seeing patients
- Why independent doctors were disproportionately burdened
- What AB 1041 changes, including clear timelines and provisional approvals
- What physicians must do now to stay compliant and take full advantage of the reform
Learn about access to care, workforce shortages, and making sure red tape doesn’t stand between patients and treatment.
