FOR-PROFIT NURSING HOMES’ CHALLENGE TO ADJUSTED MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATES REJECTED (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Rivera, reversing (modifying) the Appellate Division, rejected petitioner for-profit nursing homes’ challenges to the adjusted Medicaid reimbursement rates which were to be implemented as of April 1, 2020:

… [W]e reject petitioners’ challenges to adjusted Medicaid reimbursement rates issued to comply with amended Public Health Law (“PHL”) § 2808 (20) (d), which mandates the elimination of one component from the computation formula used to set rates of for-profit residential health care facilities, on or after April 1, 2020. The amendment and the adjusted rates do not result in a retroactive effect and petitioners failed to establish that the rates are not “reasonable and adequate to meet costs” under PHL § 2807 (3) or that the rates violate their equal protection rights. We hold that respondents may implement the recalculated rates for services provided as of April 2, 2020 … . * * *

Petitioners, 116 for-profit nursing homes, filed this hybrid declaratory judgment and article 78 proceeding against State respondents—the Department [of Health] and its Commissioner and the Director of the Budget—challenging the Department’s implementation of the recalculated rates without the residual equity reimbursement factor. Simultaneously, petitioners moved for a preliminary injunction to prevent respondents from enforcing the equity elimination clause. Supreme Court granted petitioners’ motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the clause pending a final determination of the proceeding. Matter of Aaron Manor Rehabilitation & Nursing Ctr., LLC v Zucker, 2024 NY Slip Op 02126, CtApp 4-23-24
