Which number to call when the referral medi-cal gave you doesn’t exist?

I've had a foot injury for two months. I've been to the ER twice and PCP once all of which could do little to nothing to help me (ER just gave me two kinds of pain meds and crutches, finished the meds and they didn't work, crutches made the pain worse) and PCP didn't do anything at all since they didn't wanna prescribe me anymore pain meds after I stated the ones I was already on didn't work and there was nothing more they could do because it was out of their scope, so he worked with my medi-cal to find me a podiatrist. It took about 3 weeks for medi-cal to approve a podiatrist referral, they finally did, and I called the only number for the podiatrist that I was provided, only to be told that medical building hasn't had a podiatry department anymore since before medi-cal even referred me. It seems to be quite common that medi-cal tends to just usee outdated lists, but I'm unsure of which number to call to tell them their referal doesn't exist and to ask them to magically find an up to date list out of thin air that likely doesn't exist. Do I call member services or what?
