Supreme Court rules on Medicaid payment rights
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that private health care providers cannot sue to force states to raise Medicaid reimbursement rates unless Congress creates such a right. The decision undermines suits over underfunded Medicaid payments, placing enforcement with federal agencies rather than courts. It cites Idaho as a case where higher reimbursements were not compelled by private action. The ruling affects doctors and hospitals arguing inadequate funding for patient care under Medicaid.
