captioned matter..

Pursuant to the above-described stipulation between the parties and this Court’s Order 

dated November 5, 2014 (ECF No. 60), it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED:

1. Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is GRANTED because § 14131.10 

impermissibly eliminates Federally Qualified Health Center and Rural Health Clinic services 

from coverage under the Medicaid Act;

2. Pursuant to the Ninth Circuit’s ruling, Defendants, its agents, servants, employees,

attorneys, successors, and all those working in concert with them, are permanently enjoined from 

enforcing § 14131.10 with respect to the “physicians’ services” described in 42 U.S.C. §§ 

1395x(aa)(1)(A) & (3)(A) and 1395x(r)(2)-(5) for which State Medicaid agencies are required to 

reimburse FQHCs and RHCs in the manner described in 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(bb);

3. Pursuant to the stipulation between the parties, defendant, California Department 

of Health Care Services, shall pay plaintiffs their attorneys’ fees and costs in the total amount of 

$325,000.00.

4. The Court finds that no just reason exists for delay in entering this Stipulated

Judgment and Order. Accordingly, the Clerk is hereby directed to immediately enter this 

Stipulated Judgment and Order.

7. This Stipulated Judgment and Order is binding against Defendants, their 

successors in office, and their respective officers, agents and employees, and all others acting in 

concert with them.
