Maria Isabel Giraldo, Petitioners v. Agency for Health Care Administration, Respondent.

Summary

The court held that federal Medicaid law permits AHCA to impose a lien only on the portion of a Medicaid recipient's tort recovery allocated to past medical expenses, not future medical expenses. Because the lower court allowed recovery from both categories, the court quashed that decision, approved the contrary appellate decision, and remanded with instructions to reduce the lien to $13,881.79.
