New Life Health Authority, a Tribal 638 Clinic owned by Pinoleville Tribal Nation, provides Narcotic Treatment Program services, including methadone, to Lake County Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) beneficiaries. The services provided under this agreement come at no cost to the County, as the Pinoleville Tribe is providing the non-federal match for Medicaid reimbursement through an Intergovernmental Transfer process.
