Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the Department of Health's 2004 Medicaid reimbursement rates and rate‑setting methodology for nursing homes were lawful, reasonable, and did not violate the Takings Clause or the Equal Protection Clause. The Court emphasized the statutory framework and the deference owed to the Commissioner’s expertise.
