Call to Action from CalOptima Regarding Duals Demonstration

CalOptima is measuring physician interest in a direct contract model for the dual-eligible demonstration that will launch in Orange County in April, 2014. If there are not enough physicians interested in the direct contract model, it may be difficult for the CalOptima board of directors to support the model. See the "Call to Action" below that CalOptima issued to the physician community.
