New York Court of Appeals

July 7, 197129 N.Y.2d 110
Summary
The Court held that the Public Health Law does not require individual determination of Medicaid nursing home rates and that the Commissioner’s regulation capping rates at 50% of the weighted average hospital cost is a reasonable, non‑arbitrary exercise of authority; consequently the Appellate Division’s reversal was itself reversed and the petition dismissed.
