State ex rel. LeadingAge Ohio v. Ohio Dept. of Medicaid

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus ordering the Department of Medicaid to recalculate the nursing‑home quality‑incentive pool using the change in the rate for direct care costs, not the change in price, and denied the department’s motion to dismiss as moot and its motion to amend affidavits. The Court also denied the associations’ request for attorney fees and expenses. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning reading of R.C. 5165.26(E).
