Boise, ID Federal judge Lynn Winmill of the United States District Court for the District of Idaho recently ordered Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare and its Division of Medicaid to reevaluate its reimbursement rates for caregivers after a lawsuit from five corporations alleged that the state had failed to properly reimburse the groups at current rates. The judge wrote in his ruling, "The law is clear that budgetary concerns cannot form the sole basis for reimbursement rates." The rates were originally established in 2006 and no longer covered the costs of the services provided, as the corporations successfully argued.[1]
