rural health clinics: oroville's hospital has a variety of clinics available to the community surrounding oroville. Total visits to the clinics during 2017 were 279,647, of which 41% were medi-cal, 37% were medicare and 22% were other payors. Oroville hospital continues to examine the health needs of the community and works to provide those services. Through the development of hospital-based community clinics, oroville hospital has improved and increased access to health services throughout the oroville community. The majority of our outpatient services accept all insurance plans including the state of california's medi-cal program. Our community has a disproportionate share of low/no income families. Access to health care services would be extremely difficult for this group were it not for hospital-based clinics. The state of california's medi-cal program reimbursement payments to physicians are set at a rate that makes it difficult for an independent physician to accept medi-cal patients. As a result, many health care providers throughout the state and our community have eliminated medi-cal patients from their roster. Oroville hospital also provides a medical concierge service. The medical concierge is a patient advocate that works closely with individuals to determine their needs and improve access to providers. They navigate patients through the healthcare system by coordinating and identifying a primary care provider, specialists, surgeons and many other needs.
